Quick and easy

Nothing like having things on hand and basics prepped to make sure you make a nutritious choice when your stomach starts grumbling and you need something quick. I had the rice are cooked and in Tupperware in the fridge, can of chickpeas, jar of salsa and frozen vegetables and a meal was born. Took 5 minutes 😁

Chickpea Bowl
Serves 1
1/2 cup brown rice
1 cup frozen green beans
1/2 cup chickpeas, rinsed and drained
2 tbsp salsa
Olive oil for pan

Heat a medium sized skillet on medium high heat with oil. Saute green beans first to get then thawed then add the rest of he ingredients. This recipe is easy to modify to your tastes- a different bean/tofu/meat, different vegetable and various starches. I bet pasta would be a great version.

Avocado goodness

Whew, it's been awhile since my last post, and really no excuse. But I finally have a sort of recipe. More just yummy goodness to look at, but that's pretty much the same thing right 😋.

Did anyone else watch super bowl last night? I wanted guacamole for the game but with avocadoes going up in price, and let's be honest, my tendency to eat a entire bowl of guacamole by myself, I wanted to save myself some dough (in both ways) haha. So here's a recipe that tastes just as great with less fat and more delicious veggies hidden in your life.

Avocado Pea Guacamole
1 ripe avocado
1/3 cup frozen peas, thawed
1/2 tomato, chopped
1/4 onion, diced
Jalapeño, as much as desired
Garlic powder
Salt and black pepper
Squeeze of lemon juice
Hot sauce, optional

Food process the peas and then mix in he rest of the ingredients. I had with carrot sticks but of course delicious with chips, pretzels, etc.
