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 FORTY FIVE:
classic coleslaw + bbq honey thyme chicken thighs + greek tomatoes (chopped tomatoes tossed in evoo, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, salt & pepper)….I LOVE coleslaw! I make my own dressing subbing out honey for sugar and almond milk for the milk and ya know what?? My family has no idea, it tastes just as good 🙂 Win!
Grilled Teriyaki Beef & Veggies (carrots, celery, peppers, mushrooms & onions in a sauce of tamari, honey, orange juice concentrate, fresh minced ginger, garlic, white onion & chili peppers) on Zucchini Strips or “zucchini fettuccini” if you like…Pushing the limits on “salad” definition this eve I suspect…but it was worth the push, it was pretty good!
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 TWENTY EIGHT:
Oh yeah, it gets worse….at the Zoo…ordered a “Chicken Salad”…out came a breaded deep fried chicken breast slices on top of a caesar salad…so my husband wound up eating two lunches, while I went back and ordered a garden salad and a hamburger, minus the bun. Actually, pretty satisfying. But maybe I was just really desperate at this point, after surviving on scoops of peanut butter, beef jerky, and kettle corn for 24 hours. ;/
