Yesterday, my husband shared a great article with me on a study of how a diet rich in veggies of all colors can help improve your skin tone. Click here to check out the article. I thought this was pretty cool and was part of the inspiration for dinner last night.
Thursday nights are kind of funny in our house when it comes to food. I often run the fridge and pantry down to empty every Thursday as part of an old habit from having to wait until a check came in to grocery shop. Now, I take it as a bit of a challenge to make something delicious. Last night was no exception. For the record, the fridge and pantry are now full.
Last night's dinner was a win! Remains of red chard, a sweet onion, the last of the carrots from the soup this weekend, half of a tomato, and a can of cannellini beans cooked in a little bit of olive oil with a dash of salt. I was reminded that we don't have to load up our food with salt laden spices all the time to get flavor. GOOD veggies have a lot of flavor on their own! I served this over Trader Joes Harvest Grains, which I LOVE. My husband gave his a spritz of the Braggs Liquid Aminos I mentioned previously. Rarely is a Thursday dinner something I'd make again (purely because I'd unlikely have whatever melange of foods I made dinner our of), but this would be an exception.
So, I would like to take a moment now to thank: my husband for his inspiration not just for this dinner, but continuously thru this, and my friends Bernadette (who sent me a TON of recipes for inspiration), and Ned for promoting my blog (thus reminding me to keep it going and cheering me on)!
