KEEPING IT REAL....

Sometimes I get busy during the day.....doing stuff around the house.....or outside of the house....or just sitting here reading your wonderful blogs in my Reader and dinner time sneaks up on me.   At times like that, I cave into David's request to just order "Village Pizza" or I go into the kitchen and throw something together like this which I didn't bother to write down the recipe for or take any pictures as I created it....which is too bad really....because it was delicious.

Rotini Pasta with jalapeno, red pepper, chicken sausage, slow roasted tomatoes, roasted bell peppers, roasted broccoli, NH goat cheese, a squeeze of lemon and topped with freshly grated parmesan cheese

 And when you are someone like me, you can't force yourself to eat pasta two nights in a row no matter how yummy it was the first time you had it.....so you gladly let your husband have the leftovers all to himself and you scrounge around the bare kitchen looking for something for dinner for yourself that doesn't require  a lot of preparation.....and because you need to go to the grocery store, you come up with something like this.......which may or may not have been better than the pasta....

Joseph's Flax, Oat Bran and Whole Wheat Pita Bread, Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ Sauce and Cabot Seriously Sharp Cheddar Cheese

And when you mother-in-law stops with a treat like this bright and early in the morning.....before you have had your wholesome almond butter on whole grain toast... you may or may not have it for breakfast instead...

And then rationalize that it's lemons....which are a fruit.....and eggs....which are full of protein....and made with real sugar and not any of that processed chemical-y stuff so why not, right? 

It.was.tangy.and.delicious.

Just keeping it real....

Have a great weekend!  Thanks so much for stopping by.
