So, in order to feel whole - I took a trip to Whole Foods. I bought everything green and healthy to make a super food quinoa.
In goes broccoli, cilantro, parsley, edamame, carrots, tomatoes, and chicken. I seasoned with reduced balsamic vinaigrette, salt & pepper, and shaved parmesan. So so healthy and super yummy.
Bottle of wine is from Ehlers Estate. Not bad. Not bad.
Part of the Whole Foods haul. I bought some baby kale greens and it's oh so flavorful. Move over baby spinach.
I get started on reducing my balsamic vinegar but forget to add some mustard seeds. Trust me, makes it exponentially more delicious. Try it.
Ever since I came back from Stockholm, I can't seem to eat enough parsley. It's also so green and pretty that it gives food a nice POP.
I did a medium fine chop. Yeah? Yeah.
Never realized how pretty a broccoli crown is. I might want no other bouquet than a broccoli bouquet one day.
Slice them with a stalk focus? Does that make sense? Well, slice it however it makes sense to you so whether that is stalk focus or not.
Then throw them in a pan that had heated olive oil with some salt and sugar in it... medium heat should work.
Oh cilantro. It's such a staple in Asian cuisine. I chopped them the same way I chopped the parsley. Medium fine chop.
So pretty and firm.
Sliced baby carrots.
Because black beans are the superior beans. Rinse.
Ingredients that don't need cooking: parsley, cilantro, tomatoes, carrots, and black beans.
In the pan: broccoli, edamame, and carrots.
Here's a better photo. I think.
I poached some chicken tenderloin. I know, I know, can they look any more bland?!
I chopped them.
I throw them into the pan and pour the reduced balsamic vinegar all over it. See.. I had a plan.
Cooked quinoa. Oh la la.
All mixed together. How pretty!
Action shot!!! Yes, squeeze some lemon in to it if you insist.
Rib-eye. Non-related but made it to my plate tonight for dinner.
I hope I will feel the same way about my first born as I do about the fat on this piece of meat.
Dinneerrrrrr.
