What's For Dinner Tonight: Mushroom, Spinach & Hot Dog Toasts

Some people believe things happen for a reason. I'm not one of those people. Occasionally, though, I can see how something positive can come out of a negative situation.

One such thing happened over two years ago when I broke my arm and started using Washington's Green Grocer to get fresh produce delivered to my door. My arm has long since healed {knock on wood}, but I've remained a loyal customer of Washington's Green Grocer. It's convenient, delicious, and the customer service is superb.

The photo above shows some of the items I received on Wednesday. One of those tomatoes is already gone.

Last night for dinner I used one of the portobella mushrooms and a few slices of bread from this week's box with spinach I had left from last week's box to make a simple and satisfying dinner.

I took this photo at 7pm last night, so don't judge ;) This was a really great meal!
