Quick Veggie Plate

Every so often Jenny and I get the urge to eat a fresh, light lunch instead of our usual fare. Recently we threw together a quick lunch of cooked veggies - roasted asparagus, cooked (frozen) string bean mix and a batch of our almost fried green tomatoes. The results were so good that I decided to snap a photo and post it here.

It only took about 20 minutes to prepare. We were planning on going out to dinner that night, so we wanted something really low point, but flavorful and filling.

The asparagus was tossed with a little salt, some olive oil and a couple of pinches of thyme. We cooked it in a glass dish in the oven at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes.

Over the course of our weight loss, my wife and I have really come to love vegetables. We're increasingly forgetting to eat meat. We're by no means going vegetarian, but we've come to appreciate a good veggie plate as a meal in its own right.
