coffee, light & sweet: vegetables for dinner + weekend plans

vegetables for dinner + weekend plans

Fresh veggies have been making their way into every dinner, lately. Spinach, green beans, broccoli, kale...it's been a winter of crunchy greens.


Some favorites include:

-oven-roasted broccoli (with panko bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese tossed in for texture and good measure)
-baby spinach chips (just like kale chips only milder)

In this household, olive oil and vegetables go together like peanut butter and jelly.


Next on the agenda: cauliflower popcorn. However, I'd be open to other cauliflower recipes, if you have any for me.

Otherwise, I hope you have a great weekend!  Bob and I will be hosting our first party (a housewarming!) in the new apartment. I'm notoriously terrible at planning parties, but I hope to turn over a new leaf by the time Saturday comes. Wish me luck!

I've never tried broccoli chips! We've been doing kale chips a lot lately, and believe it or not, I actually like them MORE than regular chips!

I can't wait to try baby spinach chips! We eat kale chips quite frequently, but I hadn't thought to use spinach.

Have a wonderful housewarming party! Can't wait to hear about it. xo

Yum! I love veggies and olive oil.

Have a happy housewarming, we had our first housewarming on NYE which was a bit more pressure than just a normal party, for me. It turned out great and I bet yours will too!

These look delicious! I'm actually planning to make leafy greens today :)

I answered your question about my job at Airbnb, then realized you might go back to the post and see it! I'm gonna be a Project Coordinator working with the Customer Support training staff :)

I regularly do all veggie dinners...just to balance my carnivorous tendencies. Thnaks for these suggestions - they'll be added to my repertoire.
