Simple Supper

Ok so lately I haven't really been in the mood to cook. Maybe it's the onset of spring. I want fresh raw veggies and fruit. I"m dreaming of cold watermelon and cherry tomatoes from my garden popping in my mouth. Well unfortunately we're not quite there yet so here is a simple idea for supper that won't have you slaving in the kitchen for hours while you could be outside soaking up the spring weather.

Hummus and Tomato Sandwich

Two slices of whole grain bread toasted,

Hummus, your favorite flavor

Sliced tomatoes

Baby spinach leaves

Red onion rings

Spread your two slices of whole grain bread with hummus, and layer with any or all of the toppings although the tomatoes are a must. I like to roll up the baby spinach leaves tightly and then shred finely, it makes for a better texture. You can add other things you like as lots of things are good on this: peppers, olives, whatever you have in the house!

Then to go with them,

Baked Potato Wedges with Rosemary

One large potato per person

Olive oil

Chopped garlic

Rosemary

Sea salt

Slice the potato into thick wedges and place into a deep bowl

drizzle with olive oil and add the garlic and rosemary (be generous with the rosemary). Toss around with your hands until the potatoes are coated with the olive oil and spices. Lay them out on an ungreased cookie sheet and place in the oven at about 400 degrees. Bake for 15 minutes and take out. They should be brown on the bottom, if not put back in for a few more minutes. Turn them individually with a spatula to put the unbrowned side down. Place back in the oven for 5-8 more minutes. Take out and sprinkle with sea salt and serve. Yum!
