Afternoon Coffee and Evening Tea

After our busy morning of working out, market and cleaning we decided to spend a few hours down at the local coffee shop to get some work done.  My classes at IIN officially start May 3rd but there are a number of warm up/fundamentals classes. I decided to get a single soy latte to start.

As the afternoon went on we got hungry so hubby and I shared a bagel with hummus and tomato and a bowl of veggie chili.  The veggie chili was really hearty and filled with tons of veggies and beans.  It was filling and I spent another hour working on readings for IIN.

We returned home after a successful afternoon of school work and decided that it was time to spend 30 minutes doing a mega pick up around the house so that we could just sit and relax for the evening with a little future vacation research and catching up on Criminal Minds.  For dinner I decided to head the kitchen and see what came to me.  We had a number of vegetables that we had to use up so I created a few fun dishes.  We had roasted broccoli and mushrooms, sauteed cabbage and onions and a chickpea mash with a yummy Red Hen Rustic Roll.

The roasted broccoli and mushrooms were so easy and delicious to make! I think that this is going to be a new go to dish.

Ingredients:

  • 4 cups of broccoli florets
  • 1.5 cups of baby bella mushrooms, quartered
  • 1T olive oil
  • 1T soy sauce
  • a sprinkle of black pepper
  • 1T palm sugar (you can use regular sugar but cut back by half)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425F.  Toss all of the ingredients together to coat.  Place in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until broccoli is soft and tips are slightly browned.

Now hubby and I are relaxing on the couch with a big mug of Art of Tea Earl Grey Creme and a couple of Lucy’s Sugar cookies.  Q: What are you up to this evening?
