Fresh Style

I thought I'd share a new and yummy (not to mention healthy!) lunch menu which Paul and I discovered today. Paul's grandparents left this morning for Bismark, and will be gone all day. That meant that Paul and I were on our own for meals. This was not an entirely bad thing, since we've been getting a lot of good German cooking lately.

Good German cooking is a euphemism for lots of meat, bread, and cream, and absolutely no vegetables. The other day, when I asked Grandma Elsie if she had any vegetables laying around, she answered "Oh, I have baking potatoes, corn, and salad." By salad she means iceberg lettuces pre-drowned in artery clogging amounts of Ranch, and she only serves corn if its swimming in cream.

So, left to our own devices, Paul and I headed to the store and whipped up a somewhat healthier option:

Yummmmm

Paul grilled herbed chicken while I put together a strawberry, almond, and feta cheese salad on a bed of romaine lettus and red cabbage, and topped with vinaigrette dressing. On the side, we had Wasa crackers with fresh slices of tomato and cucumber, with slices of cheese on the side. It was refreshing and delicious, and exactly what we needed to counteract our recently German diet.
