Red and White
I realized last night, as I was cooking dinner and pulling things aside for today's lunch, that everything was red and white. This is not intentional. I remember all the buzz a few years ago about eating the rainbow -- the idea that you should eat foods every day from all of the colors of the rainbow in order to get in a variety of nutrients. Although I fall way short of this most days, I do think it's good advice. It makes sense that a meal like broccoli, blueberries, and pasta with tomato sauce and yellow peppers is better for you than pasta with cheese sauce, white bread and butter, and something else white.Ok, on to today's far-from-the-rainbow lunch:
• pasta with homemade tomato sauce (Wait! It has GREEN parsley and basil! That counts, right?)
• smashed baby potatoes with soy butter
• white kidney beans
• strawberries
• water
• morning snack: water, fruit bar
