I used to have a real fear of butter. For years, I heard that all fat was bad so I eliminated high fat foods from my diet not realizing that all fats are not created equal. The past few months I have embraced the Eat Clean lifestyle which includes real food and doesn’t limit foods simply because of the amount of fat grams. I have discovered that butter can actually be, are you ready, good for you! Don’t believe me? Checkout this article Reconsider Butter from Eat Clean magazine for more information. Now I enjoy butter in moderation without the guilt.
This quick and simple veggie dish is deliciously healthy and the lemon gives it a nice tang. You may notice the recipe calls for mushrooms but there are none in the pic. I was out of mushrooms or I totally would have added them.
Buon Appetito!
