It's the greatest time of year in the kitchen garden, with an abundance of sweet corn, green beans, tomatoes, cucumbers, summer squashes.... we even had some watermelon this year! In the past I've enjoyed my homegrown vegetables alongside sandwiches, steak, chicken, potatoes, rice, etc. But it suddenly occurred to me that with such abundance in the garden, supplementation with grains and meat was completely unnecessary. After eating this meal, which took 10 minutes to prepare, I felt completely satisfied and energized. The 2 corns on the cob (what exactly is the plural form of "corn on the cob", anyway?), 1 cup of green beans, 2 Roma tomatoes, 1 pear tomato, and one lemon cucumber provided a 10 grams of protein, over 70% of the RDA for vitamin A, and over 100% of the RDA for vitamin C! Sound like a balanced meal?
