Food Friends

No, I am not talking about the ingredients in the meal shown below working well together ( they do by the way). I am talking about my mother-in-law Sheila and I. Ever since I started eating meat again, we talk the same food language. We eat real food. Whole food. We know that fat, protein, vegetables, and some fruit and nuts are the things to fuel our bodies and minds. 

Whenever we go to stay with her, she always checks with us about what groceries she should buy. I always tell her to buy what she normally gets (plus milk for our daughter and a little extra fruit). It is so wonderful to know that I don't have to worry about food while we stay with her! 

Below is a meal she prepared for us while we were visiting. It was simple and tasty! She pounded chicken breasts to flatten them, wrapped them in Prosciutto, and cooked them in a skillet on medium heat in olive oil, 5 minutes each side. She served it with oven roasted vegetables and greens. Viola! 

This meal is a reminder that good food does not have to be hard to make (or time consuming). My favorite teacher in design school used to always say K.I.S.S.(keep it simple stupid). She obviously wasn't calling us stupid, but you get the point!
