Meal prep mondays.
Today I was feeling a little adventurous in the kitchen. I decided to make something yummy and healthy! :)
SUMMER QUINOA SALAD
Ingredients:
*Vegetables (I used tomato, red and green bell peppers, zucchini)
*Mango (because I LOVE this fruit)
*Cilantro
*2 lemons
*salt and pepper
*Organic Quinoa
In a 400 degree oven, I roasted the veggies for 25 minutes.
Then i chopped them in cubes, along with the mango (chopped in cubes as well) and combined them with cooked quinoa ( Boil 1 part quinoa, 2 parts water).
I added salt, pepper and lemon to taste!
Then, Voila! My version of Summer Quinoa Salad :)
The crunch and tang of the mangoes perfectly balances with the saltiness and softness of the vegetables.
Then i figures, i need some kind of protein with this salad, so i decided to make some meal with chicken in it.
BAKED GARLIC HERBED CHICKEN
Ingredients:
*McCormick Grill Mates: Garlic, Herb and Wine Marinade
*Lemon
*Chicken Breasts (2-3lbs)
Mix the marinade as directed in the back of the package and add some lemon juice.
Bake in a 375 degree oven for 40 minutes.
Put them together in tupperwares, and there you go! Meal for a week!
So you don't get tired of food like brocolli, chicken and rice combo.
STAY HEALTHY!
