Lightly Seasoned Veggies Recipe
-Ingredients:
–bell peper
–baby corn (I used canned)
–Enoki Mushrooms (again, canned)
–Sun dried tomatoes
–olive oil
–ground pepper

Place a pan with olive oil inside on low- medium heat and add all the ingredients in apart from the ground pepper in it.
Pour in enough hot water (boiled or tap works) to just cover the bottom of the pan. This steams the bell pepper to soften them a little more and slightly re-hydrates the sun-dried tomatoes. Cover and leave for 5mins.
Take off the pan lid and let all the water evaporate away. Sprinkle with black pepper to flavour.

*After this I re-used the oil to fry the chicken…I’m not sure if you’re really allowed to do that with olive oil, but it all worked out 🙂

Under the chicken n veggies are some noodles to fulfill that carb need.

A few nice healthy food choices images I found:

2009 Can Do Awards Dinner to benefit Food Bank Of New York at Chelsea Piers. New York, 2009.

In New York City, one of the richest cities in the world, food poverty is around every corner. Throughout the five boroughs, approximately 1.3 million people — largely comprised of women, children, seniors, the working poor and people with disabilities — rely on soup kitchens and food pantries. In addition, the number of New Yorkers experiencing difficulty affording food for themselves and their families has doubled to approximately four million since 2003.
Food poverty in New York City results from problems affording or accessing needed food. Low-income New Yorkers often have to make choices between providing enough food for themselves or their families and paying the month’s rent or utility bills. With food prices steadily rising, difficulty affording groceries among New Yorkers with already stretched budgets has reached crisis levels. The steadily rising cost of living is also being felt by middle-income New Yorkers, who are increasingly experiencing difficulty affording food. Meanwhile, a number of financial pressures — including health issues, health insurance issues and low wages — continue to affect New Yorkers with low to moderate incomes.

In addition to financial problems, low-income neighborhoods throughout New York City are characterized by a lack of affordable, nutritious food. Add to that equation chronically stretched budgets and the prevalence of low-cost, low-quality food and it is easy to understand the challenges of leading a truly healthy lifestyle in many neighborhoods — which lead to high concentrations of diet-related conditions such as diabetes, obesity and hypertension.

I got a little behind in trying to work through my cookbooks one at a time. I had a dinner party last weekend and made one salad out of each of these cookbooks: oranges and olives from the Great Book of Couscous; carrots with orange juice and orangeflower water from the Ethnic Paris Cookbook; and cucumber with zatar from Paula Wolfert’s book. Plus I made a big pot of couscous vegetables and cooked some merguez. Had no Algerian wine though.
