the color of the day? green!!

Tonight, we had fresh farm broccoli. As much as I love store broccoli, the stuff from the farm is so much tastier -- a little sweeter, a little less sulphery edge. It was all pretty simple, really. I steamed the broccs, sauteed an onion and little cubes of bread, then tossed the broccoli in to the mix. We served it over brown rice with a sauce of tahini, Bragg's, and fresh lemon juice drizzled on top.

On the side, we had a small salad -- lettuce, spinach, arugula, turnip, scallion, black olives, and blue cheese. I dressed it with a splash of balsamic vinegar and a splash of olive oil.

And then for dessert, we finished off the strawberries I picked yesterday. They are so bursting with flavor; I wanted to finish them before they went bad, which would probably be soon.

Tomorrow? More green -- spinach this time.
