I needed to compile some of the foods I've been eating but might fall in to the too-simple-to-have-their-own-category box. Most of the items are from the weekends or lunch - some simple favorites. Instead of bombarding you all with separate posts - I'm going to cut the hassle to make everything conveniently located in one spot. Enjoy! Open face scrambled egg sandwich with edamame hummus spread, tomatoes, and avocado. (Protein packed, mono-unsaturated fats, vitamin C, and whole wheat.) Yum.French mini baguette with fresh mozzarella, heirloom tomatoes, and avocado - completed with a lovely glass of red wine. (Good mono-unsaturated fats, vitamin C, Calcium, and antioxidants. )Potentially my favorite: 1/2 c oats, 1/2 c soy milk, 1/2 c water, handfull of raisins, 1/4 c roasted apples; cook on medium stirring continuously until liquid is absorbed. 1 egg whisked - stir quickly in to cooking oatmeal on the stove and stir until creamy and egg is cooked. Topped with cashew butter, maple syrup, and walnuts. (Awesome for fiber and protein.)Southwest Chicken Salad: This is the last... and probably most unappealing, but this was one enjoyable lunch I continued to eat and crave for a week. Slow cooked chicken (shredded), black beans, corn, fire roasted tomatoes, and avocado. Stir it up and eat - delicious. The roasted tomatoes really help. (Lots of protein, vitamins, and healthy fats.)
Eat Well!
