Simple Supper (Boiled Red Potatoes, Steamed Green Beans, Marinated Cherry Tomatoes)


One thing I like about cooking vegan is how fast I can get 'er done. We were in a hurry tonight to go run some errands, so I threw together a few quick items and called it a meal.  Twenty minute dinner, and it was pretty good.  We had fresh fruit on the side, too.  Both my kids ate a ton, and there were no leftovers.  I got high-fives for such an awesome dinner! : )

BABY RED POTATOES--cut in half or quarters, boiled about 10 minutes (until fork tender), tossed with garlic, Earth Balance Butter, salt, pepper and parsley.

FRESH GREEN BEANS--steamed about 4 minutes in the microwave, tossed with a little Earth Balance Butter and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, salt.

MARINATED CHERRY TOMATOES--yellow and red tomatoes sliced in half, tossed with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper and basil.  (Served on the spinach we had left over from last night.)

FRESH STRAWBERRIES and CHERRIES on the side.
