1. WARM QUINOA SALAD :: Delicious! This recipe has all my favorite ingredients, spinach, tomatoes, cucumber, kalamata and green olives, pepperoncinis and lemon. I just made the quinoa in my rice cooker. When it was done I sauteed it for a few minutes with the spinach, just long enough for the spinach to wilt. Then, I removed from the heat, added the rest of the ingredients then tossed with a homemade lemon vinaigrette.
2. SHRIMP PESTO PASTA :: To satisfy my craving for carbs, I made a homemade basil almond pesto to add to thin spaghetti and shrimp.
3. BREAKFAST SMOOTHIE :: I love smoothies because you can get so creative. I love experimenting with different ingredients. This one has vanilla greek yogurt, soy milk, banana, blueberries, strawberries, almonds and a handful of spinach. Sometimes I'll even add some cooked oatmeal.
4. CHICKEN + VEGETABLE FAJITAS :: I marinated chicken breast in the same lemon vinaigrette above for about an hour. Then I put it on my stovetop grill with some mini bell peppers and sliced onion. I also made some salsa and guacamole. Throw it all together with some pinto beans in a tortilla and enjoy :)
