Hubby's daily lunch

I'm so thankful to have a husband who loves peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.  It's an easy, quick lunch to pack in the morning.  Since changing our diets to a more whole food diet, he's said goodbye to the everyday Cool Ranch Doritoes and has said hello to fruit salad.  Here's his typical lunch....  and he'll take iced green tea to drink.

Brownberry 10 grain bread, peanut butter and homemade strawberry jam

Kiwi, honeydew, cantalope, blueberry

Spinach salad with sweet potato

Who puts a salad on a blog, right? Well, me.. While making this I was on the phone with my biggest fan. I was telling her how pretty everything was and how wonderful the sweet potato smelled, so I wanted to share it with her and maybe inspire some beautiful salads everywhere.

spinach
tomato
bell pepper
black olives
carrot
Dressing: 1 T. olive oil, sprinkled in some red wine vinegar, salt and vinegar into a little plastic bowl with lid and blended. Then drizzled onto the salad.

Baked sweet potato: poke holes in potato and place on baking sheet for 1 hour in a 400 degree oven. I put a little pat of butter and drizzled a little bit of local honey on top.

Everything was fantastic.. so that's why I had to post a salad :)

Cheese raviolis with garden tomatoes

This was a staple meal in our house all summer when the tomatoes in the garden were so plentiful... Our tomatoes are now done but here's a tribute to a great quick dinner...

4 average sized tomatoes
6 garlic cloves (use as many as you like, we LOVE garlic)
fresh basil (again, use as much as you like)

Chop up tomatoes, garlic and basil and place in a bowl and let sit for 5 minutes.. this lets all the flavors combine. After 5 minutes, place tomato mixture on a baking sheet and heat in a preheated oven (400 degrees) for 5 minutes.. just long enough to warm up.

Meanwhile cook cheese raviolis according to package directions and place on your plate (I salt and pepper the raviolis right before I spoon the tomatoes on top)

So quick so delicious!
