    I've been working on recipes for my cook book, "The Skillful Art of Healthy Eating" and for today's lunch I had two of the recipes that I have finally mastered, copyrighted, and added to the book. Both recipes are high protein, high fiber, diabetic and weight loss surgery friendly, and appealing to the eye. It's my absolute belief that we eat with our eyes first. I haven't photographed them yet because I was swamped with work. I had my homemade cashew chicken salad that contains chicken breast, celery, onions, and cashews over a bed of power greens. I use plain Greek yogurt and a splash of red wine vinegar. I paired the chicken salad with a red bean salad containing red beans, edamame, carrots, red onion, celery, red bell pepper, and mango. The dressing is made of olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, minced garlic, herbed sea salt, and ground black pepper. I plan to have it again for lunch tomorrow. So I will photograph them and post the pictures then.

    I wanted to try quinoa, how's the texture?
    I like it in the mix with the brown rice. I've never had it alone. It was a prepared combination that was already seasoned, and it was delicious.

    I agree with you completely when I look at recipes I always look at the pictures first and if it doesn't look appetising I don't even bother reading the recipe

    I'm having a Mexican-style salad. Iceburg lettuce, spinach, carrot, cherry tomatos, feta topped with shredded chicken, kidney beans onion and mushrooms cooked in a tomato sauce with cumin, garlic, corriander and chilli. Yummo!

    Leftovers from dinner last night which I ate in lettuce wraps - bit messy for work though

    I have yet to figure out how to post a picture to MFP but my lunch consists of grilled chicken, black beans and tomatoes on a whole wheat wrap topped with creamy ghost chili sauce. It's left overs from last night.

    Lunch today: Pumpkin seed butter and avocado mushed up with Greek yoghurt as a dip for baby carrots and cucumber. Not sure about the pumpkin seed butter on its own, but mashed up like this, the flavour wasn't bad.

    @katrina I like quinoa. If you boil it and leave it slightly undercooked, it will have a slightly crunchy texture, which I like if I make quinoa burgers--it just gives you this little pop of a different texture. If you cook it completely (and/or overcook it), it's very smooth. It's small, so if you fully cook it, it's like well-cooked teeny pasta, or cous-cous or something?
