Green is good

It looks like AnskySue doubled up on our go-green mini challenge. Her interpretation? Broccoli and spinach. Definitely a very healthy interpretation.

This has been an incredibly busy week already but we managed to work green into our meals on the last two evenings. Monday night was grilled chicken breasts with tortellini (my son’s favorite dinner food) and steamed broccoli. The broccoli was farm fresh and kept it’s vibrant green color after being steamed. My husband said it looked like play food it was so green!

Last night was my favorite spinach salad from Sam’s Club. If you are a member, you must try it! It’s fresh spinach packaged with dried cranberries, sliced almonds and feta cheese plus a vinagrette dressing. All the ingredients are packaged separately so they stay fresh and you can add as much or as little as you want. It’s so good – and the whole package is just over $5. It is much larger than the prepackaged salads in the grocery store and will last us about a week using it every other night for a side salad. Last night it was the main course along with some italian wheat bread.

Looking forward to trying a couple of new recipes on the visiting in-laws over the next few days – I’ll keep you posted!
