Dinner Tonight

It's all about simplicity:


I found some very soft (about to burst) organic heirloom tomatoes at the grocery store today. One is yellow, one is pinkish and one is purplish..and they were begging to be paired with some fresh mozzarella cheese and basil...


So I'm going to slice them and the cheese into medium-thick slices and drizzle them with some good quality EVOO...tear up some fresh basil and sprinkle some sea salt and freshly ground black pepper over the top. 


And while I wouldn't normally recommend eating something like this as your meal...That's it. That's dinner. You know why? Because we've all 4 eaten our daily requirements of protein, fruit, veggies, whole grains and fats...so we're gonna just have a very light and refreshing and nutritious "snacky" type of meal.  


The kids are in a very sad mood now that they know we're eating tomatoes for dinner. Oh well, they're gonna have to get over it because I'm very excited about it, and so is daddy:P 


And someday, they'll thank me for passing on a wealth of knowledge about clean, nutritious eating, right?! We shall see...
