Look at my lovely little zucchini boats! So quick and easy. Ingredients: 1 cup soaked and cooked pinto beans 2 zucchinis 1 tbs soy sauce 1 medium carrot 2 tbs dry roasted sunflower seeds 1 celery stick Method: 1) Blend pinto beans with chopped carrot, soy sauce, sunflower seeds and celery. It would be wise to keep some of the cooking water from the beans to allow the mixture to blend easily. Blend until it reaches the consistency you desire. 2) Hollow out zucchinis with a spoon. You can use this later in soups, salads etc 3) Spoon in bean mixture into your "boat" 4) Bake for about 20 minutes or until zucchinis are soft. This goes deliciously with some brown rice! Tip: it's great to dry roast sunflower seeds in big batches and serve them in an airtight jar. Great to serve in salads, baked in cookies, to add some texture to hummus, or just as a snack.

Asian inspired red quinoa with vegetables topped with walnuts. Presentation leaves much to be desired! But here's yesterday's lunch. SO flavorful. Ingredients: 1/4 cup dry red quinoa 1/2 cup spinach 1/2 cup peas 1 garlic clove 1/4 cup dates 2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger 1 tablespoon soy sauce 1/4 cup walnuts Method: 1) Cook quinoa according to directions on package 2) When there is about 5 minutes of the cooking time left for the quinoa, add spinach and peas (10 minutes if they're frozen) and allow to wilt 3) Add the rest of the ingredients (except for walnuts) and allow the favors to "get to know each other" for 5 minutes. 4) Top with walnuts and voila! Packs in about 550 calories depending on the ingredients you use so this is a perfect pre workout recipe! Nix the walnuts (190 calories) if you're worried about calories.
