So over the past few weeks I have been trying to get the family to eat less meat and increase vegetables and fruit. So this weekend my mother and I decided to make up a bunch of healthy recipes for our friends and family to share. Hope you enjoy them as much as we did; plus all of the meals made for excellent lunches and leftovers.
Chick Peas and Spinach
1 can of Chick Peas rinsed and drained
1 bag (1 lb) frozen chopped spinach
3-4 Fresh plum tomatoes
2 TBSP olive oil
1 TBSP garlic
1 TBSP grated Parmesan cheese
In a saute pan, heat up your garlic, and oil for about 3 minutes. Add your bag of spinach and cook through, then toss in your can of garbanzo beans, and tomatoes. Let the whole thing cook together for about 10 minutes. Remove from heat, sprinkle with cheese and serve.
Tip:
This dish can be served cold or hot, using fresh spinach or frozen. A great vegetarian meal.
Tomato and Mozzarella Salad
5-6 Tomatoes chopped
1 Ball of fresh Buffalo Mozzarella diced
2 TBSP fresh Basil
2-3 tsp of balsamic vinegar
Take all your dry ingredients and place into a salad bowl, toss your balsamic and chill in the refrigerator for about 1/2 hour. Remove and serve.
Tips:
This is a really clean flavored dish. If you wanted you could toss in whole grain pasta and make it a salad to go along for a BBQ. LOVE this dish.
