Swiss Steak, Herbed potatoes, Garden salad

For dinner on Sunday I made Swiss steak.  For the sides I used the Butter Gold Potatoes, lettuce, and tomatoes from the basket.  I tried something new with the potatoes.  Most of the time when we buy potatoes its the big russets that you get locally.  I thought that with these small potatoes I could make herbed potatoes.  I washed and boiled the potatoes until they were tender.  Then I sliced them in half and tossed them in a teaspoon of olive oil and a teaspoon of butter.  I sprinkled them with garlic powder, basil, parsley, green onions, and salt and pepper.  My husband and I thought that this was the best thing we had at dinner.  The kids however weren’t sure about all the herbs on the outside of the potatoes.  The kids liked the salad the best.  I made the salad with the lettuce and tomatoes from the basket.  I also added cauliflower, carrots, celery, and red pepper that I had already had in the fridge.   The potatoes are high in vitamin C and a good source of Potassium.  Potassium helps regulate blood pressure.  The Lettuce is high in Vitamin A, and a good source of Folate.  The Tomatoes are also high in Vitamins A & C and is also a good source of Potassium.  A salad is one of the best ways to consume fresh fruits and vegetables because you consume them raw.  When you cook fruits and veggies they lose a little of their nutritional value.
