Eat Some Wear Some
If I am having dinner by myself during the week there is nothing I love more than a plate piled high with roasted veggies. I know, it’s not normal. So I usually pair these with sautéed chicken and a tasty bread when others are joining me. With the leftovers, warm them up in the microwave, toss spinach with the dressing and add the warmed Brussels sprouts and sweet potato. I love adding warm things to spinach salad to wilt the spinach slightly. Feel free to add whatever else you have to the salad, such as toasted walnuts and dried cherries.
