So it is Tuesday and this marks the beginning of week two! I can’t believe I have made it this far and it wasn’t that bad!!! So I have noticed the last few days I have been in a better mood and had more energy. I can’t say for sure if it is because of the challenge but I will take it. I lost weight the first few days then I put it right back on the fallowing few days then lost it again. Crazy. I do fluctuate but for me it is typically about 2 lbs. e very few days. I am not going to get too excited just yet.
My husband is sick today so when I got home I tried to make something healthy that he would eat. I took a recipe on the Quinoa and made it my own. Let me share.
· 1 Cup of quinoa; cook as directed
· 1 Can of northern white beans drained, rinsed, and cooked as directed
· 2 Cups of frozen cauliflower cooked as directed
· 2 Cups of frozen broccoli cooked as directed
· ½ Cup of pine nuts roasted. Watch these closes they roast fast. I typically do like 5 min in a toaster oven (add last to individual dishes)
· ½ Tablespoon olive oil: you can add more for taste
· ½ Tablespoon Ume Plum Vinegar: you can add more for taste
· ¼ teaspoon dried mint
· Salt and pepper to taste
· Mix all of the ingredients and if it is a little cool microwave it for a few min before adding the pine nuts
I loved it but my husband said the beans we a little dry. Hope you can try this and make it your own!
