Simple Layered Salad
Sometimes I not in the mood to put much effort into lunch or dinner, there's nothing made ahead (surprise!) so what to do I ask myself. One of my fall backs is a layered salad. It's just romaine lettuce sliced thin, cottage cheese, fruit - pears, cantaloupe, berries, topped with sunflower seeds or what ever seed variety is to hand. Stack it up, grasp your fork and dig in. A healthy meal with little to no effort. Tip - the romaine and fruit can come already bagged/chopped so there is not even that chore for you - nice!
Romaine greens, sliced thin across the leaves
1 c.+ cottage cheese
1 - 2 pears, cored, sliced with skins
1/2 c.+ sunflower seeds
On a dinner plate, layer romaine, cottage cheese, pears, sunflower seeds to then grab up your fork and enjoy! Yes, it can be just that easy to make a healthy meal for yourself with little effort...sounds good to me and it is.
When I'm not gamboling up the stairs to throw together a healthy meal, I'm sewing cotton pocket aprons for my online shop - www.etsy.com/shop/topdrawerthreads .
Or I'm putting the finishing touches on hand crafted throw rugs torn from upcycled recycled thrifted cotton sheets which are then crocheted into round and oval throw rugs for my other online shop - www.etsy.com/shop/topdraweryarns .
My daughter's have an online shop - www.etsy.com.shop/yesdesigns - where they design and sew cotton pocket knickers to wear for leisure, fun, or frolicking occasions.
My older daughter has an online shop - www.etsy.com/shop/wildwovenwomen - where she works upcycled recycled thrifted yarns into brightly striped afghans to curl up into on those summer evenings you just want to sit outside and enjoy the starlight.
