Wow, ever since school is done with for the semester, and I am somewhat settled into our very temporary home; I have been a cooking machine!! Whippin' up new healthy stuff left and right!! The best thing about it, I have someone else to enjoy eating it with finally!
Since my boyfriend refuses to eat anything BUT what a child around the age of 5 eats. LOL! He refuses to try new things.... and veggies.....the thought, and sight of them, make him cringe. It got to the point, I was making two dinners. Then, I put my foot down, and taught him how to make his own hamburger helper. Don't get me wrong, I love him, so in no way am I disrespecting him; but we most definitely have different eating habits.
So, back to what I was saying about having someone to enjoy healthy food with....since it is obviously not A, it's his dad!! He loves all the recipes I make up, and try out. So I hope you do too!!
Cherry Tomato and Cucumber Salad
What you need:
Serving size: 1-2
Now the thing with this is, this is only a portion of the real recipe! The real deal is Take a pita shell, fill it with garlic hummus, brown rice, this salad, and grilled chicken!! To die for!! A meal like that can be heavy, so when I want something light and refreshing I just make the salad part and eat it like there is no tomorrow!!
