I got this neat collection online :)

STARTING MIX:
Chop up 1 red or green pepper, 1 tomato, a few mushrooms, and 1/2 (I use a whole!)a red onion. Put in a bowl and cover. This is your starting mix that will go towards making 3 days worth of recipes.

Some things you can make with the mix:

*Greek salad- add some feta cheese and some greek dressing, add some lettuce to give it more bulk.

*Omelette- Add some of your mix to a few eggs/egg whites. Cook in a pan with some olive oil, add a bit of cheese or some sort of meat if you like.

*Baked fish (or chicken I suppose) -Take some fish (or chicken) and put it in a baking dish or pan. Drizzle a bit of olive oil and add a handful of your mix ontop. Bake in the oven.

*Pasta: Add your mix to tomato sauce or alfredo sauce, and toss with your favourite pasta.

*Rice/couscous/quinoa- Cook some of your mix in the microwave for a bit, then add some rice/couscous/quinoa cooked in vegetable (or chicken) broth.

*Stir fry- Fry up your mix with some meat or tofu. Add some soya sauce and put over brown rice.

*Wraps- Wrap up some of your mix in a pita or tortilla with some shredded cheese and optional meat.

Hope this helps others, I made some mix today and I'll use it in egg whites for breakfast. Maybe tonight I'll make a salad wrap!

    Three more ideas:

    With this mix, you could also add some jalapenos, garlic and lime juice=salsa

    Saute the mix and use it as a burger/veggie burger topping

    Quesadilla. Heat a wheat tortilla in a pan (olive oil spray perhaps, but shouldn't be necessary), put a layer of refried beans or black beans in, add some optional cheese, put some of the mix on top, and add another tortilla (or fold it over).

    These are great ideas! I always keep cut up green peppers, onions and tomatoes in my fridge - I'm much more likely to use them if they're ready to go. I have designated containers for each - I like to keep them separate - especially the onions. I put onions (I LOVE red) in just about everything!

    Thanks for the tips!
