what's for dinner

As the

Whole Food Kitchen

Workshop

comes to its final week

(sniff-sniff)

I reflect on the continuing

journey that I

and therefore my family

have embarked on.

My student binder

is fat with

delicious

nutritious

recipes.

Enjoyment and meal planning

have merged

as I finger through

the pages

deciding what new and exciting

meals I want to try

each week.

Exciting?

Yes!

When you are trying ingredients

for the very first time

ever!

Trying with confidence

since each attempt

has yielded

such amazing results.

Translation:

There hasn't been a recipe

yet

that I haven't loved.

Case in point...

Sun-dried tomatoes.

Re-hydrates in boiling water

for a brief minute...

adds such an amazing flavor to

the dish.

Fresh Wheatberry Salad.

Wheatberries?

Another virgin grain that has been

introduced around these parts.

It was love at first bite.

Mixed and mingled well

with the sweet onion

asparagus

and parsley.

Tossed with an easy

balsamic vinaigrette

and

sitting atop fresh baby spinach.

I will confess

that my over zealousness

has been off-putting

at times with

my boys.

But I shall stay the course...

when a body feels this good

you just know...

you are doing something

right.
