Vegetable salads are one of my favorite food. Below is a bowl of vegetable salad I prepared: cheese cubes, Romaine lettuce, black olives, cucumber, tomato and carrot slices.

It just occurred to me and I just checked, I already featured this photo in this blog post for my 2010 Project 365 (which is not updated by the way for almost a month!)

Here is another dish from the Dona Elena Cuisinera Club prepared last month: Vegetarian Crepe with Tomato-Basil Sauce

• 1 1/4 cup fresh milk (or low fat milk)
• 1/4 cup butter (or reduce to 3 tbsp)
• a pinch of salt

Procedure:

1. Beat the eggs.

Why do I love food? I asked my daughter this question and she answered we love food because food makes us alive. True, we should eat to live and not live to eat.

Not that I am saying that the “live to eat” thought is not good because that philosophy would be good too as long as the food being taken is healthy.

Below is a sandwich that I prepared:

A sandwich with lettuce, tomato slices, scrambled egg and a slice of cheese in between whole wheat bread that I made for lunch and brought to work.

I plan to have more of these in the coming days, plus more (raw) vegetables in my lunch box and on the dining table too. No sweat with fruits since we all love to eat fruits.

This kind of sandwich made from home is definitely less expensive when bought from a restaurant or a coffee shop. Good for the heart, I hope it is 🙂

Belated Happy Hearts day to all!
