Please check out the new prepping video I did with Angelle and Dr. Sue from Get REAL for kids . This video will definitely help you get ready for the busy fall season.

Oven Steam Chicken and Vegetables is one of the easiest dishes you can make any time of year but especially right now when there are so many seasonal vegetables to choose from.  I made the one in the picture with zucchini and summer squash.
