    Spring mix, topped with roasted veggies (tri-color peppers, asparagus, red onion, and grape tomatoes tossed with olive oil and garlic), parmesan cheese, and sliced almonds.

    mmmm Turkey meatloaf sounds good too.
    How is Quinoa? I've wanted to try it, does it taste like regular pasta?

    It's different - doesn't really taste like pasta. It's great with the Balela ("This is a Middle Eastern salad with chickpeas, black beans & tomatoes and is flavored with lemon, olive oil, mint and other spices.." from www.traderjoesfan.com) in it. You should get some quinoa and give it a try, especially since it's such a great source of protien. For mine, I basically just followed the recipe on the back of the Tri-color Quinoa from Trader Joes then dumped in an 8oz container of their Balela. If you don't have a TJs there you could find a recipe for the Balela, because it's wonderful alone, and just put 8oz of it in your plain Quinoa.
  • Lunch will be our big meal for the day today. I'm grilling up Korean short ribs (Trader Joes) and serving them with brown rice, kimchi and edamame. YUM!

    Left overs from last night - Spicy Honey Chicken with Thai Peanut Noodles.

    The Spicy Honey chicken wasn't nearly as spicy as I would have hoped and wasn't as good as the maple-glazed chicken we usually make.

    The Thai peanut noodles, however, were pretty good and fairly close to Pad Thai. I'll make those again.

    Quinoa is amazing! One of my favorite foods. I use it in place of pasta, rice, potatoes and ceral. It has almost a nutty type flavor (in my opinion).
    My favorite quinoa recipe: one part quinoa to two parts water. Bring to a boil, then add cinnamon, apples, raisins and a brown sugar substitute. Stir it up, cover and turn to a simmer until it's cooked through. I make a big pot of it and will eat it for dessert, a snack and also for breakfast in place of oatmeal or ceral. It reheats nicely in the microwave if you add a splash of milk.

    I had the same thing I have every day! Celery, cucumber, broccoli, carrots, chicken (spiced with dill, seasoning salt, tri colour peppercorns and garlic), and a sprinkling of light mozza cheese with wishbone ranch spritzers.
