simple meal.

I am not by any means a healthy guru. I obsess over popeyes and anything piping hot, spicy + fried. However, there are times when I really crave a simple meal. Maybe just for an internal cleansing once in a while.

I love simple salads with anything grilled in the warmer seasons. Today was perfect for such indulgence. 

Rosemary grilled chicken + mesclun mix salad 

saladingredients:

grape tomatoes

 sliced almonds- a great salad topping


 

homemadecroutons:

combine olive oil, dry herbs, + minced garlic

slice day old/stale french bread into 1/2 inch pieces. dip bread slice into the olive oil/herb mix.

coat both sides. sprinkle a tiny bit of sea salt on either side. bake at 200 degrees for about 15 mins or until golden brown

voila! better than store bought.

grilledpotatoes:
 
small purple + yellow potatoes
 
potatoes are seasoned with olive oil, dry herbs, minced garlic, + a dash of salt/peper, wrapped in foil with 2 tablespoons of butter- ready for grilling!

rosemarychicken:

fresh rosemary leaves- these were minced and became the main ingredient for the chicken marinade
