Dinner with the family - healthy food

in #blog7 years ago

We get together with a family often and enjoy not only a pleasant company of each other, but also a useful and tasty meal.
It's not traditional cyprus food, but it's the food we like too much.)
Just imagine a big table on the huge balcony, a glass of wine in your hand, a beautiful view, native people next to you and a variety of simple but salutary food on the plates.

This is a salad with beetroot and carrots. Plus some olive oil added.

"Beetroot is of exceptional nutritional value; especially the greens, which are rich in calcium, iron and vitamins A and C. Beetroots are an excellent source of folic acid and a very good source of fibre, manganese and potassium. The greens should not be overlooked; they can be cooked up and enjoyed in the same way as spinach."

Beetroot is the main guest in my everyday menu. I love it.

Stuffed with herbs and vinegar, the eggs had an excellent taste.
It's a great starter before the main dish.

One of my favorite dishes - quinoa salad. It is very healthy, delicious and easy to make.

"Quinoa is one of the world's most popular health foods.

Quinoa is gluten-free, high in protein and one of the few plant foods that contain all nine essential amino acids.

It is also high in fiber, magnesium, B-vitamins, iron, potassium, calcium, phosphorus, vitamin E and various beneficial antioxidants."
"It has beneficial effects on metabolic health".

And now let me introduce you the king of our last night's dinner - medium-fat meat.
With a delicious crust, tender middle part.
Soft, fragrant - it's smells came from the furnace and teased.
And being on the table - this dish eclipsed everything else and sated all our noisy family.

When the physical hunger was satisfied, we, as usual, began to satisfy the hunger of the soul - a chic view of the mountains, the soft light of a lamp and stars, frank conversations, reflections, arguments, dreams.

Oh, these family gatherings!
You are charging with energy not only from useful food, but also from an indescribably favorable atmosphere.
And the stars in the sky now appear brighter, and the mountains are higher, and the heart is warmer.
