How Could You Not Enjoy These?

Vegetables are our friend! Just look at all the wonderful colours for our taking. I'm getting back into making medleys of vegetables for many of my meals. I'll steam a variety together, then eat them plain, or mound my 1/2 cup pasta with steamed veges and a bit of low-fat spaghetti sauce for a very filling and healthy meal.


This is my past Sunday's supper. 3/4 cup whole wheat pasta (I still had two starches left for the day, but couldn't eat a full two, so I went with 1 1/2 starches), 5 oz broiled salmon, 3 cups mixed vegetables, some steamed and others stir fried in a dash of olive oil, and 1/2 cup low-fat primavera sauce. So filling, and so good!

Experiment, you could use chicken or beef as your protein instead. I just happened to have some left-over salmon needing to be eaten. It's buried under the veges.


Try it. You just might like it as much as I do!


Surrendering to Him,

Yum! As much as I love Hubby, sometimes I miss my single life. I could eat healthy, tasty things. Hubby and his folks think no meal is complete with fried meat, mashed potatoes and cornbread! Help me!

Ooo, the before and after are equally beautiful. Yum!

I know the produce department at the grocery store isn't the same as a garden or the farmer's market. All the same, I never, EVER get tired of just wandering through an array of fruits and vegetables from all over the world. In my awe at the Creator's ... CREATIVITY, I thank Him for the wealth which permits me to touch all this, and puts it within my reach.
