Lazy Dinner

I got home from TRX at the gym tonight at about 8:15, hungry, and completely uninterested in cooking. I really need to grocery shop so my options were pretty limited but I ended up with a yummy (if not necessarily the most nutritionally sound) dinner.

I discovered I had a bunch of small purple potatoes in my crisper drawer. (Totally forgot that I'd bought them!) They're about the size of red potatoes but they're purple! I decided to cut 2 of them up and bake them into purple potato fries. I spread them out on a cookie sheet that I'd sprayed with olive oil, and then sprinkled salt, pepper, and garlic powder on them. I baked them for about 20 minutes at 350. I knew I couldn't have just the potatoes so I added some grape tomatoes to my plate and there was dinner:



I should have had a protein with this but really didn't have anything suitable and I figure I could have done a lot worse! The potatoes had a sweet flavor and the tomatoes were a great complement. I will definitely buy the little purple guys again if I see them at Whole Foods. I'd also probably add in a chipotle sausage (vegan, of course). I also buy these at Whole Foods; they're near the eggs and butter and tofu and they're made by Field Roast. Super good!
