summer... can we go slow-mo?! i am amazed that it is the last week of june! i guess working and being in a routine really makes the days fly by, especially when you love what you're doing and where you are in life! i am already sad that i only have a month left at LEONA and living here in nashville. hopefully i'll be be back, at least in nashville, come next may!
tonight for supper i tried out a new ingredient: wheat berries! i finally found them in the bulk bins at whole foods after searching multiple stores for them! similar to quinoa, they are high in protein (6 grams per 1/4 cup dry) and high in fiber. they are a great addition to salads, alternative to rice or pasta and even good in soups with their nutty, chewy taste and texture! i went savory with my first try of wheat berries tonight!
wheat berries with asparagus, squash and chicken
1 c dry wheat berries
1 lb asparagus, washed and trimmed
2 yellow squash, sliced and diced
bunch of kale, washed and cut
4 chicken breasts, cooked
italian seasonings, pepper, garlic powder, to taste
parmesan cheese, for serving
- cook wheat berries according to package directions (i did mine the night before because they take longer than most other things to cook).
- meanwhile, season asparagus and squash with seasonings. sauté over medium heat until tender. add in kale and cook until wilted.
- stir wheat berries in with veggies and kale. serve with chicken and parmesan cheese.
lastly, today's post wouldn't be complete without my OOTD! it was a bit chilly at work so i threw on this green
marc blazer to complete the outfit!
