As much as i enjoy cooking, it is easy for me to fall in a slump, get overwhelmed but what to make for dinner, and let the burden fall upon my hard-working husband. which isn't fair. after my successful big salad sunday night, i have been laying in bed thinking how to mix it up as not to tire from this super healthy dinner. in addition, i have been surfing tastespotting.com and stumbled across many many delicious looking healthy recipes, not to mention muffins and maybe a dessert or two. and then i get overwhelmed by the seas of possibility and fall into my slump again.
big salad ideas:
mexican lime:
greens, lime/cumin/chipotle dressing, black beans, avocado, bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, pumpkin seeds, cilantro, corn if in season
"hummus:"
greens, lemon/tahini/garlic/cumin/cayenne dressing, chickpeas, parsley, roasted red pepper, carrots, olives, cucumber (for alex), almonds?
Spiced autumn:
greens, orange/cinnamon/shallot dressing, roasted beets, roasted winter squash/sweet potato, parsley, mint? goat cheese, hazelnuts, beans? inspired by orange beet salad
