So with recent events as the base I have concluded that dining out too frequently is not what makes me happy. Well I do love dining out once in a while but dining out but frequent dining out leads to a guilty me where I mope about thinking of the unhealthy food and the impending weight gain . So I finally started cooking after a 3 day gap where I dined out quite a lot. I am happy about going back to the normal healthy routine. Now one of the few points which work for me when I consciously eat healthy is having a well stocked pantry, which includes fresh vegetables, fruits and protein of course but what is equally important is to readily have ingredients which make a dish tasty. It can be varied fresh herbs , some paprika , some spices etc etc Little changes such as replacing that sour cream in a recipe with hung curd is a very useful and healthy way of keeping things tasty yet healthy . Now I was searching for recipes of roasted zucchini when I came across which fabulous roast zucchini from Martha Stewart and with a bit of further reading one of her other recipes amalgamated with the roast zucchini gave me my idea for a healthy and gorgeous yet light dinner. Of course I changed and added ingredients but that is the beauty of food .
And so here I have my roast rosemary zucchini cottage cheese open faced wrap
