Lunch
yesterday was tomatoes (natch) topped with broccoli rice...
Then
dinner was a 'clean out the cupboards and fridge' meal... First I sauteéd some
broccoli stir fry (broccoli, snap peas, carrots) and some chopped zucchini in a
bit of water and olive oil. Drained in colander. Added more olive oil to pan and
sauteéd sliced mushrooms. Set aside. Cooked pasta, and drained.
To
the pan I added the fire roasted tomatoes (no need to drain) and the Roasted
Garlic Alfredo sauce. Then in went all the veggies.
Then
in went the pasta, the broken up crab, and bacon crumbles. Heated through.
OMGOOOOOD!!
That
and a glass of the Santa Barbara Chardonnay Nancy gave me for my birthday.
YUMMMMM
All
I know. Nuff said. Happy Monday. Ciao.
