I decided to make something different than usual. I’m not sure if I was bored by the same foods or I was feeling creative. What I did come up with was a pretty good meal, not only nutritionally but taste as well. We all get tired of the same foods from time to time.
I had an idea of what I was going to eat, as I began to cook more ideas came to me. I cooked quinoa on the side and put some ground chicken in the wok along with garlic. I had some zucchini so I threw that in the wok also. With my growing interest in seeds because of their nutritional properties, I added some sesame and sunflower seeds. Next I added a can of lentils and a can of diced tomatoes. When the quinoa was finished I added it to the wok with the rest of the food. And finally to add a little flavor I put in some basil and parsley.
I was very happy with the outcome. If ground chicken or meat isn’t something you regularly eat add some more beans to increase the protein content. Kidney and black beans are both high in protein and fiber.
You don’t always have to follow an exact recipe to get what you want. Make something up from time to time. You may find yourself adding it to your regular diet.
