Healthy lunch!!

Here is a picture of a quick and easy lunch that I made last week. I am trying my very hardest to eat better. This meal was Quinoa with veggies. I cooked the Quinoa which took about 20 to 30 minutes(cooked very much like rice). I chopped garlic coarsely, I really like big pieces of garlic, then some mushrooms, broccoli and celery. Put this in a pan with olive oil. Seasoned the veggies with some spicy pepper mix, salt&pepper and put in about a 1/3cup of water. Covered, lowered heat and let steam for about 10 to 15 minutes. I mixed it all together with some soy sauce. It was deelish!! Very filling. Fiber in the Quinoa and veggies. Iron in the broccoli. Need to try and lower the sodium though. Soy sause is pretty high in sodium. Just make sure to drink your water!!

Easter dinner!!

I dyed eggs for Easter. It was fun and made me happy every time I opened the eggs! I want to dye the eggs all of the time! I also put a roast beef in the slow cooker with some veggies. I then made a carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. I had never made a cake from scratch. It turned out pretty good! Baking is a lot easier than I thought it was! I made a soup with the left over beef and veggies. I also put in Quinoa(Keen-wah), which is a great alternative to rice or pasta. It is a wheat and isn't as heavy as the other two. Buy already rinsed Quinoa to skip a step.
