Sunday Fun Day: Veggies
We normally eat pretty healthy meals. We eat fresh veggies all year round and 90% + of our evening meals are home cooked. But, this week, the vegetable crisper in our fridge were nearly empty and neither of us had time to do a grocery run. So, we found ourselves eating more carbs then usual.
By Thursday, I found myself craving vegetables.
I felt like I was going through some sort of veggie withdrawal.
So, my happy moment this week goes to sauteed kale, steamed broccoli with a lightly seasoned stake.

Looks delicious! If I don’t have vegetables I start to crave them too. I’m almost obsessive about getting them in on a daily basis. Broccoli and kale are two of my favorites!!!

I too love kale a lot more then broccoli, but we had broccoli in the fridge and there was no way I was going to let it go to waste. 🙂

I would eat broccoli raw as a child. So odd. All those greens are just so good for you! Glad you used up your broccoli. And I’ve been craving steak since reading this post 🙂

I would eat Brussels sprouted and spinach voluntarily as a kid. And in fact, I still love them both. 🙂

That’s awesome!! I love both of those too!! One of my favorite Brussels sprout recipes included sautéed Brussels sprouts with red onions. I put it on these yummy jalapeño soft tortillas from trader joes and dollop Greek yogurt (my sour cream) and salsa. Okay now I’m gonna have to make those 🙂

I have never had that! My favourite Brussels sprout recipe is light olive oil, salt and pepper roasted until a bit crispy. So delicious! I think I’m going to need to find time to get to the grocery store and buy Brussels sprouts now!

It’s funny how our bodies actually seem to crave the healthy stuff when we’ve gone without it for too long. 🙂

It is one of my favourite dishes. Kale, olive oil, a touch of salt, pepper and garlic. It doesn’t take long to cook and it tastes great. 🙂

It was a quick and amazing dinner! We rarely barbecue in the winter, so I was pretty excited when Mr. MPB cooked up the stake on the barbecue. 🙂
