Who Said Leftovers Needs To Suck? Dill-Lemon Pasta Salad

Dill-Lemon Pasta Salad
This week at Chews Healthy, I was scavenging through my fridge  looking to munch on a snack, when I realized that nothing looked very appealing. I for one am never in the mood to eat leftovers, they just never taste as good as they do when you first make them. So this got me thinking, why not make a dish that tastes even better after a day or two in the fridge.

Today we will be making a Lemon-Dill Pasta Salad! This dish is loaded with nutrients and flavour it contains; whole wheat farfalle pasta, avocado, goat cheese feta, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, kale, red pepper, onion, dill, lemon and garlic. What's not to love, seriously.

So let's get started!

Oven-Baked Stuffed Eggplant

Packed with Quinoa, Veggies, and topped with Goat Feta
This week at Chews Healthy, I decided to try something different, something I have never made before. I had originally had this dish at a friend's place last week at a small diner party, and to say the least I was quite impressed by the flavours from this entrée. The flavours in this dish are robust and savoury,  and is packed with proteins and vitamins.To top it all off, it is sprinkled with goat feta cheese, what's not to love, seriously!

Goat cheese is  higher in calcium, and lower in fat and calories in comparison to it's cow counterpart. "Goat cheese clocks in at eighty calories and six grams of fat per ounce, compared to cow's milk cheese, which generally has around 100 calories and 10 g of fat per ounce. This means goat cheese is the better choice for staying fit and thin." (Fromagerie Belle Chèvre. 2013)

Anyways, enough about the facts and more about the making and eating. Let's get started!
