Labor Day Dinner

My new roommate and I decided to celebrate this lazy holiday by being productive. We put together a a watermelon basil salad, mashed some cauliflower, and grilled up some portabella mushrooms on the roof. It was easy to make and to clean up. Nutritionists say that a good way to tell if your meal is healthy or not, is if there's a lot of color on your plate. Look at how colorful that thing is!

For the cauliflower, we used the recipe on the NCC site, but substituted non-fat Greek yogurt for the cream cheese. The yogurt gave it a bit of a sour taste, but in a good way. It kind of reminded me of the mashed potatoes that Lizzy makes, which I love!

We used balsamic vinegar and olive oil on the mushrooms, grilled them for about fifteen minutes, and seasoned with salt and pepper.

For the salad, we tossed some basil and watermelon with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then put in some fresh mozzarella.

We didn't really measure anything. It was pretty easy to eye-ball it. I was surprisingly comfortable without the measurements. Growth mindset! Very successful dinner. Good teamwork. This definitely won't be our last post.
