Life Food

dinner2 22 12 Life Food

This is hands down my favorite type of home cooked meal. It’s quick and easy to put together, healthful and most of all, delicious. I used to believe that healthy food equaled boring and plan food. For me, “diet food” was gross and unappealing. Low-fat, low-carb, low-calorie. It was cold and bland, like cottage cheese. And then I came to my senses and realized that this isn’t diet food at all, this is real food. It’s satisfying and flavorful.  It’s food that makes my heart sing.  It’s life food. No sacrifice here.

Whole wheat couscous with garlic and olive oil, topped with sauteed mushrooms and fresh parmesan.

Roasted butternut squash (I swear, the most dangerous vegetable to cut!) with sea salt, olive oil, garlic and cayenne. Roasted at 425 degrees for 30 minutes. And a dark mixed greens salad and cucumbers with my own creamy dressing.

peanutbutterballs Life Food

For dessert I had four peanut and date balls. Which are exactly as they sound: roasted, salted peanuts and pitted dates in the food processor with a dash of vanilla and water. Form into balls and store in the refrigerator. They are addictive and taste a lot like peanut butter cookies, or the dough.
