Our effort to eating more vegetables is going very well. Now, it's time to up the amount of fruit we consume. That's going to be tougher. I buy fruit and it just goes bad before we get a chance to eat it, like that pineapple currently rotting in our kitchen.
Organic green beans sautéed with onion and bell pepper added much needed veggies to one of my favorite quick meals, Trader Joe's tuna curry. Under all that is a hearty scoop of bulgur, which is as quick and easy as white rice yet more nutritious than brown rice. Give it a try!
We bought some sweet potatoes the other day and then almost forgot about them. Here they are paired with Chik'n patty, spinach, rice cheese, and pesto panino. That red stuff is Aleppo pepper, which goes on practically everything in this house.
Tonight we decided to get out of the house and try a new place, Summer Canteen in Toluca Lake. These Leaf Wrapped Savory Nibbles appetizer with tamarind caramel was a great treat. It reminded me that I should probably make something using the tamarind in the pantry.
For dinner, I had the Green Curry of Greens and Tofu. Extra spicy, of course, which just means it had some flavor. The unhulled brown rice was a delicious and nutritious addition! Andrew enjoyed his Beef Panang Curry but wished for rarer meat (which is not uncommon for him). Our server brought us some Thai Iced Tea crème brûlée on the house. What a great idea! I have my eye on the Burmese Tea Leaf Salad for our next visit.
I wish you were my personal chef.
