Everyday, I strive to make healthy choices for my body. For me, I notice that my body does not do well with carbs... at all. So, I try to make meals that are carb-free (for the most part).
Well... here it is: Veggie Quinoa.
Ingredients:
* 1 cup of Quinoa (This is something I always have in my cupboard... and you should, too!)
* Spinach (about a handful)
* 1/2 a Tomato
* Onion (Take a whole onion & slice once - which should give you 5-6 rings)
* Roasted Cauliflower, Pinenuts & Garlic (This was leftover from a previous dinner.)
Directions:
1. Fill a pot with 1 1/4 cup of water. When the water gets to a boil - add 1 cup of quinoa. Cook for 10 minutes.
2. While the quinoa is cooking - grab a pan, add olive oil and bring it to a medium heat. Grab a handful of spinach & toss it in the pan until it is wilted.
3. Chop up half a tomato & dice.
4. Take an onion & slice once. This will give you 5-6 rings. I love whole onion rings - but if you would rather chop it up... go for it.
5. For the roasted cauliflower (pine nuts & garlic) - this was from the night before & I wanted to use it up. So - if you don't have roasted cauliflower laying around in your fridge (haha) use some leftover veggies from the night before.
6. Once the quinoa is ready (the water will be gone & it will be light and fluffy) - just add all the veggies in with the quinoa.
7. EAT!!
This may not sound like a lot of food - but trust me, it filled me up! I find that when you put the right foods in your body - you stay full longer.
Thanks for reading & Happy Tuesday!!
