Here's my start.

Forgive me if I seem like a mexican-pasta-salad missionary. It is what I make the night before I know I'll have a crazy busy day and come home starving. It is filling, full of fibre and pretty. I can also throw everything together while the pasta cooks, making this entire meal in about 10 minutes flat. (hey, I still have my knife skills from my restaurant days.)

oh yeah, so here are the rules:

under thirty minutes from start to finish.

minimal processed ingredients. (I could never cook without low-sodium chicken broth in a box, unless I went back to rendered duck fat in everything.:noway: )

One of my favorite recipies, takes about 5 minutes from start to finish. All you need is a minute brown rice cup, about a half cup of frozen vegetables, I use seapoint farms chinese stir-fry vegetables with edammame, 1/2 tsp garlic, 1/2 tsp ginger, and 1.5 tsp soy sauce. Nuke the frozen veggies for about a minute to soften them up, then thrown them in a stir-fry pan that you've sprayed with some type of vegetable spray, saute them with the garlic and ginger. while your sauteeing the veggies put the rice cup in the microwave for a minute or two( i have a weak microwave so I have to use two minutes, the directions say one) Throw the rice in with the veggies, add the soy sauce, saute a little longer to let the rice absorb the soy sauce and that's it. I'm a vegetarian so that's usually it for me, but there's no reason, why you can't add a little meat to it for protein.
