Fast Food Night

It was 16 below zero last night in the Twin Cities.

Welcome to the first day of 2010.

I never made it out of the house despite my morning intentions of skiing or hitting the gym. It ended up being a lazy day of much-needed home organization and reading.

I also had no desire to cook even though we had a new container of marinara sauce and Italian sausage from Cossetta's. FYI, Cossetta's carries two kinds of sauce and only one is gluten-free.

I had decided to concoct a fast-food dinner using whatever miscellaneous ingredients I could summon from the fridge. I'm actually quite surprised at what came together under such lethargy. It was probably a lot healthier than what was
supposed to have been for dinner.

Fast food recipe:
2 hard boiled eggs sprinkled with ground pepper
Celery sticks smothered with almond butter
1/2 cup cooked buckwheat
Bowl of steamed Brussels sprouts
Black olives
Bowl of fresh rasberries and bananas (dessert)
Glass of red wine

Be sure to ask for the gluten-free "Marinara" sauce in the deli section of Cossetta's:

C
ossetta's Italian Marinara
Ingredients: Tomatoes, vegetables, salt, herbs & spices
Cost: $7.39 (1 quart)
