Colorful Tuesday

Today the hubs and I decided that we were going to go back to our Meatless Monday routine, but seeing as it's really a Tuesday that just feels like a Monday, I dubbed today "Colorful Tuesday." I had plenty of veggies in my fridge that I really needed to cook or use so that I wouldn't be wasteful, and somehow I made it all work together.

Before I get into dinner, let me give you a quick rundown of the rest of my day:

Breakfast: Oatmeal with a dash of cinnamon and raspberries
Snack: Banana

Lunch: Spinach with chopped strawberries and one medium fuji apple, topped with a drizzle of cinnamon pear balsamic vinegar

Snack: Orange

Dinner: Explosion of Color

I cut what was left of some red, orange and yellow peppers I had in the fridge into long strips. Then I tossed them in a bit of olive oil and seasoned them with paprika, lemon pepper seasoning and a bit of sea salt. Then I grilled them on my grill pan. 

While those cooked, I chopped up some tomatoes and half of an avocado and mixed them together with a bit of salt and pepper and lime juice. 

Then I toasted two slices of Ezekiel Bread and smeared a bit of roasted red pepper hummus on each slice. I sprinkled a bit of goat cheese on my toast, and Josh put a slice of pepper jack cheese on his. Then we added a layer of spinach and topped it off with the avocado and tomato mixture. 

On the side we had our grilled peppers with a bit of hummus for dipping. It was fresh, colorful and perfect for summer!
