Taste The Rainbow

My garden says hello :mrgreen:

Today’s lunchbox is a "use up the fridge" ordeal that turned out fantastic.

I made a salad out of leftover roasted veggies (I had Matt roast some carrots and peppers when he cooked the fennel and broc!) Served over baby spinach with a drizzle of olive oil

I plan to dump on these TJ’s Baked Beans at lunchtime too!

I might give birth to a watermelon after this week!

  6. What a beautiful picture of the flowers in your garden!

    I really want to try TJ’s baked beans…I used to love Heinz’s version but I haven’t had those in a long, long time.

  13. Have fun in Asheville! I visited there a few times when I was in school in Charleston, and I always LOVED it. Such a great town…it sounds strange (or hippie dippy) to say that a town can have “good vibes,” but that town definitely does!

  17. I’m not a fan of fennel at all–in fact I can’t eat anything that has it in it! Which is weird because I like black licorice…. ???

  19. I never thought of putting butterscotch chips in my cottage cheese. I’ll have to try it soon…sounds yummy! You always have such great food combo ideas. My fav of yours (that I’ve tried so far) is tempeh + pumpkin butter. I never would have come up with that on my own but it’s awesome!

  27. Isn’t it funny how cleaning out the fridge can beget some of the best meals ever? I often wind up with what we call a “snowball salad” because it just keeps getting bigger and bigger and bigger….!

    My Dad was right for telling me to look harder when I would say “but there’s nothing in the fridge!”

  30. Kath, I wanted to let you know that I started a blog. I know that you see hundreds a day, but I consider you my biggest inspiration. If you get a chance, I’d appreciate a view. =] I’m still trying to figure everything out.

  38. Your garden did say hello!! I heard it 🙂
    I cant wait till I can have a garden of my own. I live on the 3rd floor in a condo so I have to keep everything in pots which are nice but I wish I had an actual garden to go along with them!
    Yummy eats as always! You always give me good ideas for snacks and mixes I need to try.
    Thanks Kath!

  44. Love baked beans, especially over pasta instead of using a sauce. And I love leftovers. Here’s a quirk for ya – my boyfriend and I have a song called “Using it Up”, which we sing as we find leftovers in the fridge to eat.

    Have lots of fun this weekend!

    I do that a lot … it results in lots of interesting variety. And if I mix it all together, it can be very unpredictable in how it tastes.
