Quick Healthy Dinner

Trader Joes seaweed snacks - I had no idea these would be such a hit in my house, but Ry can eat an entire package in one sitting!  So, last night, I prepared a healthy salad - spinach, carrots, avocado, pumpkin seeds and sprinkled the crunchy seaweed on top.   It was spicy, crunchy, and had lots of flavor.  I used a light, light lemon vinaigrette to top it off.  So healthy!  Chad did not try but S and I loved it. 

Mine and the girls dinner was super simple but good.  Brown rice, black beans, this salad and seaweed on the side.  (Chad brought home BBQ).  I promise I do try to include him in meals, sometimes though I just strike out!







Pumpkin seeds have become my new obsession.  Read what this website has to say about them "natures almost perfect food"!

Impressive - I want to eat perfect foods and ones that contain so many great nutrients.  And, they taste good too!
