See? I can prove living & cooking simpler is healthier. This is our lunch today - we made a potato salad which is basically russet potatoes (boiled till firm/tender) in a dressing of olive oil, chopped parsley, lemon, minced garlic & green onions. Presented on a decorative bed of lettuce & adorned with cucumbers, grape tomatoes & radishes. This is the last you will see of Sophie at my house because Bob Barker called & she will soon be appearing on the Price is Right! Sorry Vanna but The Wheel of Fortune called a day too late!
Here's our fresh fruit salad (or what's left of it) - nectarines, blueberries, blackberries & raspberries. Make this (add other fruit too - grapes, apples, citrus, cut cherries, etc.) & add orange juice (fresh or from the refrigerated section but not from concentrate). Let sit for about an hour in the fridge. Your kids (and you) will LOVE IT. Sometimes my kids only drink the juice. Only good for about 1 day (best on day prepared) or fruit gets mushy. Great idea for snack or dessert. Are you feeling my simplicity here? I can hear some of you saying "Yeah Deb, you're simpleminded for sure!"
In case you were wondering "Gee Deb, what the hell is a Persian cucumber?" here they are. I keep these cut up in the fridge & my kids will eat them with a meal or as a snack. Plus they make cute adornments & are firmer/less seedy than "american" cucumber.
GOOD grief my fridge died last week so I totally feel your pain. How many condiments does one really need? The shelf life issue is a great one to ponder. Also, cute daughter!
