    spicy pork and rice

    take 1 pork tenderloin, cut into cubes, brown in 1 T canola oil, brown 1/2 yellow onion, add can low sodium diced tomatoes, can low sodium (rinsed and drained) black beans, 1 package lower sodium taco seasoning mix and 1 bay leaf. Simmer for an hour, serve over brown rice and sprinkle with cheddar cheese. ( I use full fat cheese, tastes better).

    I think tonight is going to be easy: Jenni-O turkey burgers, served on a 100 calories sandwich round with all the veggie fixins for the burger. Side of cottage cheese might be good. I like to use Free 1000 Island from Kraft on my burger: tastes like McDonald's special sauce. :wink:

    I'm having the following throw together protein boost for dinner. My meal planning fell apart today and what I did eat wasn't my preferred ratio of carbs to protein so I'm trying to make up for it.

    1/4 c lentils
    1/4 c barley
    2 cups water
    1 boneless, skinnless chicken thigh
    1/8 teaspoon of salt
    +/- 1/4 tsp of:
    garlic powder
    onion powder
    cumin
    black pepper

    bring water to boil and add all ingredients stirring to mix spices
    bring to boil and reduce heat (I am using #2 on my small burner electric stove)
    cover and let simmer stirring occasionally until barley and lentils are cooked (not sure how long as I've never done this before)

    Hopefully it will taste as heavenly as it smells.

    FYI - ratio of grain to water is 1:4
