Eat Your Green

Burning 1,000 calories or so on a 6.4 mile hike made me pretty hungry, so I treated myself to a half grilled cheese sandwich on cranberry walnut bread and half a Greek salad from The Oaks Gourmet Market in Hollywood. The cranberries added color and unique flavor. The vibrant veggies in the salad were dressed with olive oil and a touch of Greek honey.

After a somewhat decadent lunch, we decided to do a simple dinner. We paired some pesto Andrew made a few days ago with Trader Joe's Whole Wheat Gnocchi. The vegetable side was broccoli that had been in the refrigerator since Wednesday and needed to be eaten.

It wasn't until I started assembling that I realized it was green on green!

Hoping the avocados we got today will be ripe soon. A chopped salad with lots of colorful vegetables and homemade croutons can be so satisfyingly delicious.
