DAY FIFTY NINE:
strawberry season is upon us! fresh sweet strawberries, mushrooms, white onion, avocado and spinach salad with oven roasted pork tenderloin, drizzled with strawberry balsamic dressing
DAY FORTY SIX:
turkey veggie scramble (ground turkey, garlic, onion, green pepper, yellow pepper, zucchini, mushrooms, thyme, salt & pepper) + green bean french fries (+LOTS of red hot, lol!)….pushing the “salad” limits again, but the guys ordered pizza tonight so I got to cook all for me and choose exactly what I and I alone wanted (whoohooo! no compromising!) and this is my fav quick easy healthy meal that feels unhealthy and treat-like 🙂 These green bean fries are awesome! Greasy, salty and dripping in red hot….mmmmmm…..
DAY THIRTY EIGHT:
Oh yes, the Mediterranean Grilled Salad…this was a good one!
grilled chicken thighs + grilled veggies : baby eggplant, zucchini & red pepper + pan crisped garlic + anchovies + avocado slices + wedged tomato + fresh torn basil leaves + red onion + red leaf lettuce + balsamic & honey dressing
DAY THIRTY THREE:
Roast Beef + Caramelized Onions + Broccoli + Fresh Corn Kernels + Diced Tomatoes + Avocado + Green Onion + Red Leaf Lettuce + Balsamic Dressing….The guys had roast beef dip and caramelized onions and corn on the cob….My salad was fresh, crunchy, very filling & satisfying 🙂 Those onions were amazing on it! Olive-oily oniony goodness apparently goes really nicely on a salad! I really liked the contrast between the savoury roast beef and onions and the sweet crispy corn kernels that were sliced off the cob…
DAY TWENTY THREE:
Another “leftover” or “remixed” salad, atop a bed of iceberg (I know! but it’s so good sometimes! I don’t hate on any lettuce 🙂 even the nutritionally-void ones :), chopped avocado, tomatoes, cucumbers, mushrooms and green onion….and then instead of a dressing, I used the leftover salad from last night, the shrimp, crab, corn, peas, peppers & dill salad. Very fresh and crunchy and light, really nice after this hot summery day.
