Hey! Hey!
Tonight I wanted to eat something more on the fresh side. I wanted to mix things up a little bit but include some fresh vegetables of different colors and fresh herbs. Eggplant is known to have a large amount of antioxidants in its dark purple skin among other nutrients. Green beans are full of protein, vitamin K, and other important nutrients. Cherry tomatoes are packed with vitamins A, C, and other goodies. Here is how I brought all of those vegetables together, with a few others, to create a fresh, nutritious, and yummy dinner for my family to enjoy.
