This is a picture of everything I ate between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. yesterday. I had the banana and pear with a cup of black coffee for breakfast. The sweet potato, veggie stir fry and Quinoa salad for lunch and the pear for a snack. The potato, stir fry and Quinoa were packed in a small Tupperware container and I liked the way it looked so I left it like that, stuck a fork in it and took a picture for you. I wound up taking the nectarine home with me.
I weighed in today and I'm down 55 lbs since 1/1/2014!
This was a great lunch.
The veggies are onion, garlic, carrot, celery, fresh ginger, tomato, pineapple, habanero pepper, basil, oregano, romaine lettuce all chopped and stir fried in HOT olive oil with a dash of Kosher salt, Red Wine Vinegar and a couple dashes of Soy Sauce.
The sweet potato was just that with nothing in it.
The Quinoa is one cup dry, 2 cups of water, a little chopped celery, onion and garlic with a dash of salt. Bring it to a boil, turn down the heat, cover and let simmer for 15 minutes.
OH! I almost forgot! I let the stir fry simmer for about 5 minutes so the liquid would settle. Then I strained out the liquid in a bowl and added it to the Quinoa for extra flavor.
Add some Sriracha sauce to the Quinoa for a real kick!
Let me know how it turned out.
