So What The Heck Do We Eat? -- Day 122, I Love Dill!
I don't know whether it's the weather change or my mood change, but I've been craving for tasty and healthy eats and treats. I've been cutting down my sugar intake recently. People in my family don't show any exemplary resistance when they are faced with a plate of warm bread pudding smothered in thick cream. I'd gladly eat chocolate pudding for breakfast, lunch and dinner for three days straight. But, sugar does make people sick, especially too much sugar. When our food is overly acidic and our body fails to rid itself of the excessive acids as a result of over-working for decades, we will feel it. Stomach ulcers, heartburns, migraines and diabetes are just some common results. So, I am trying to do a little better with sugar. Apparently, with the dietary shift come the different cravings. I'm currently on a spinach and green beans kick. Oh, did I mention before that I'm a huge dill lover? There's just nothing like the smell of fresh dill weeds.
The spanakopita pie was very naturally created because I had some leftover filling from making the pot-stickers a couple of days ago. I just love the spinach, tofu and pine nuts mixed together and drowned in the aroma of dill.
Then I saw Heidi of 101 Cookbooks made this new dish: Vibrant Tasty Green Beans. I love green beans and I love dill even more. How could I ever resist such a lovely combination of the two? So this is the healthy yumminess delivered as promised.

The spanakopita looks gorgeous - I love Greek food.
And the green beans have given me some ideas - every T-giving I'm engaged in a mad search for a 'green' dish that will be as popular as the stuffing, the potatoes, the breads, the desserts, etc.
