10 ways to eat SIMPLE today?
Guess what I’m having for lunch today? This is so simple and sooooo tasty!!!
Here’s the how to: Put your quinoa pasta on to boil for 10 minutes, k? Dash a little olive oil in your sauté pan, right? Toss in your chopped red pepper, asparagus, zucchini, red cabbage and a hunkin’ handful of minced garlic and onions. 10 mins for the pasta, 10 mins. for the veggies, done! As my fab and oh-so-mod daughter would say, YUM-A-LICIOUS!
Here’s the why: use a small plate so your fist-size portions stay in check, more veggies than pasta, healthy olive oil only, market-fresh veggies for nutritiously-dense foods and quinoa pasta (wheat/gluten free) for whole grain goodness with a protein kick. It’s cheaper and quicker than eating out. You know what’s in it—no hidden ingredients and you can make extra in the pan to eat later when your schedule picks up and you’re on the run—that’s planning ahead.
