MIA & Menu Tuesday

So sorry I've been MIA. When I get an opportunity, in the next few weeks, I'll post a blog telling you everything we've been going through in the last 3 months.

Menu Tuesday:

I made this recipe last night for dinner and had forgotten how much I LOVE it! My children even gobbled it up. (I was shocked.) There are so many yummy flavors that mask the vegetables they didn't seem to mind eating broccoli, asparagus and mushrooms. I love it when that happens! I made apple buttermilk muffins to go along, so the family didn't feel too deprived, and I had a piece of whole wheat toast with organic strawberry spread.

Olive oil spray
1 garlic clove, chopped
1/4 cup white onion, diced
