For once I actually feel like I ate enough vegetables to not worry that people will think I don’t eat enough vegetables. Ha. By the way I eat bananas, strawberries, carrots at work almost every day. Anyway this is a pretty good collection of food this time!
We’ve been buying a head of lettuce and a head of spinach and washing and cutting it up right away. It keeps well in the fridge and that plus a few more vegetables and some grilled protein makes a very nutritious and quick dinner. I’ve really been enjoying our salad dinners out on the patio the past couple weeks.

Rare enough for you?? I accidentally spent $15 on steak that day. Oops steaks are way heavier than I expected. We ate well that night, that’s for sure!!

july 27th, 2013 – mango, avocado and grilled shrimp with peanut dressing
So good I made it again. With different shrimp and different mango. I think I liked the more yellow mango better than the red mango (although the red mango was prettier).
