Okay so today's Lunch was Full of flavor!! I made cilantro lime shrimp, with quinoa with corn and black beans, scallions, cilantro and a splash of lime. It was Amazing. I added a lot of garlic to the shrimp aswell. I seasoned the shrimp with this awesome seasoning blend, I found at Ralphs for $1.79 it's salt free and zero calories. (same as Ms Dash, which runs at about $4.00) It was healthy and delicious.

This crock pot was a little gem I found at a garage sell, amazing condition, for only $2.00. Couldn't pass it up, it's perfect for my little family, one of my favorite things to make in it are soups and stews. Today I am making Lentils with lots of Veggies. I have embarked on a healthy journey with my wonderful brother, so now I'm counting calories.. So today as I was making this soup, I was writing down everything that was going in it and I was very surprised after all the calculations for the whole crock pot of lentils it was 693 calories! (Of course I'm not eating the whole pot) lol. Excited to have these throughout the week, lunch or dinner.
