Tasty Tidbits Tuesday
Fresh Vegetable Medley
So many of my Tuesday recipes are actual tried and true recipes and most often not original. However, tonight I worked until 7:40 pm and needed to make a quick and healthy meal. I have to admit that I had planned ahead for a couple of late evenings by purchasing an assortment of washed and trimmed and bagged fresh vegetables (Wegman’s) and a good size package of grilled chicken strips (Costco).
All you need is a boneless skin-less chicken breast or you can cheat and short cut your prepping the way I did. And a variety of fresh veggies.
I put some olive oil in a large skillet, added a couple of garlic cloves (chopped) and turned up the heat to medium high. Then I tossed in my chicken strips and a small bowl full of cut up vegetables. Tonight I used wax beans, string beans, asparagus, red onion, carrots and celery, baby zucchini squash, and snap peas.
I seasoned the mixture with sea salt and ground pepper, threw in some fresh tarragon, Italian parsley and fresh thyme. Then, I squeezed a quarter of a lemon over all.
I stirred it occasionally for about 6 minutes and then covered the pan so everything could pan steam till vegetables were tender.
A glass of red wine and a tossed salad rounded out the meal.

Very nice. Where’s the carbohydrate? 🙂
That came when my girlfriend and I ate a whole bag of cookies afterward to reward ourselves for eating so healthy in the first place, (and it’s true)
Haha very nice!!
Oh glad to hear about the cookies….I was starting to worry about you.
Never worry, once a cookie junkie, always a cookie junkie. Thank God, I pawned the GS cookies off on Chiara!
