::Keeping on Track::

August 27, 2010 By Katie

I haven’t looked at our mileage this week, I’ll just assume that we are all still moving forward.  I have to say that I am seeing a difference, are you?

I’ve been on the bandwagon for healthier eating too.  I consume way to many crackers with cheese when I get down to sewing and have been adding in salads with loads of veggies.

This is my favorite salad for the Summer and I finally have cherry tomatoes and basil in the garden as well as some sunflowers to bring the sunshine indoors.

Potato Salad with Roasted Veggies (adapted from Fields of Greens Cookbook):

2# new potatoes ( I like those mix bags with the purple ones)

olive oil

salt and pepper

handful of summer beans

1 cup corn

Onion

pint of cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 bag arugula

handful chopped greek olives

4 oz or more goat cheese

Basil-Garlic Vinaigrette:

2 Tbsp Vinegar (I use Champagne)

6 Tbsp Olive Oil

1/2 cup fresh basil leaves

1/2 tsp salt

2 garlic cloves

___________________________________

*Make dressing in blender or processor.  Set aside.

*Half your potatoes if they are larger and roast tossed in olive oil and salt and pepper till tender.

*Using same pan, roast beans, corn and onions with olive oil and salt and pepper.

*When cool place all veggies in bowl with crumbled cheese and olives.  Toss with vinaigrette.

*Enjoy!

    Ooo, I was just wondering what to make for lunch. I think that decides it!

    The potato salad looks delicious. My basil and arugula plants would be willing to share some leaves with me, I believe.

    I grew up in Bellevue, years ago, before it ballooned into a big city.

    that looks great! I did go from vegetarian to vegan this winter and feel even better but I have to admit that I failed miserably where the gym is concerned this week… I didn’t even see the inside of the gym …. sigh…. The salad does sound good.

    I made my goal this last week, but I weigh in higher than before I satrted. Very discouraging. I’m sure dessert last night didn’t help, of course. Had a huge carrot cake cupcake with cream cheese frosting. On the bright side, I walked two miles to the restaurant and two miles back!

    I love cheese and crackers, but this salad looks great. I’ll have to keep more salad on hand for my pre-quilting quick snack urge.
