Easy Scalloped Potatoes and Roasted Vegetables

 Last night was our Relief Society 180th Birthday Celebration.  Andrea Thayn and committee put on a great dinner celebration complete with a little BEEATTITUDES Program!!!  I volunteered to help.  This is what Andrea requested.  The menu also consisted of Traegered Pork loin and Texas Roadhouse Rolls and honey butter, and bundt cake and candy, served by the young men.  A great evening!!!  

Easy Scalloped Potatoes
12 to 15 potatoes, thinly sliced (I don't peel them)
3 cups grated cheese
salt and pepper
garlic powder
onion powder
3 c. heavy cream

Spray a 9x13 baking dish and add a layer of 1/3 of the potatoes, sprinkle with 1/3 of the cheese and sprinkle with all the seasonings.  Repeat for 3 layers.  Pour the cream over the top.  Cover with foil and bake at 400 for 1 to 1 1/2 hours until potatoes are tender.  Remove foil the last 20 minutes to allow to brown on the top.  

Roasted Vegetables
2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 inch chunks
6 to 8 c. broccoli 
olive oil
salt and pepper
garlic powder
onion powder

Drizzle vegetables with olive oil and sprinkle with seasonings.  Place on a baking sheet and bake at 400 for 20 to 30 minutes, stirring mid way thru. Pull out while still al dente.   I cooked them separately because I felt the broccoli would cook faster than the sweet potatoes and I had too much for 1 baking sheet. HINT:  Don't overfill your baking sheet as you want these spread out to roast and crisp up a little.
