Soyagera journey into healthier living

Healthy meals can be just as quick and easy as junk food! I thought I’d share two easy (read: lazy) meals I ate today that are chock-full of good stuff:

Breakfast:

Hot Cereal with Honey, Bananas and Nuts
1. Cook your choice of hot cereal. I really like Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Mighty Tasty Hot Cereal. (I half the directed recipe which makes about a cup and a half of cereal.) 7 minutes
2. Stir in: 1 1/2 T. local raw honey, 1-2 T. of Earth Balance margarine, 1/4 c. ground nuts (I keep these on hand in the fridge.)
3. Add sliced bananas (or fruit of choice).
4. Enjoy! You’ll be full ’til lunchtime

Lunch:

Yum Hash
1. Cook any type of grain that suits your fancy: quinoa, brown rice, cous-cous… Keeping cooked grains on hand in the freezer makes this infinitely easier. (15 minutes if cooking from dry state)
2. Heat a veggie burger or two in a pan or microwave. We like Dr. Praeger’s or Sunshine brands. (couple of minutes)
3. Mash veggie burger into quinoa in a bowl.
4. Add in whatever flavors you’d like! Ideas:
-olive oil, salt, pepper, nutritional yeast, Bragg’s Liquid Aminos
-flax oil, salt, pepper, balsamic vinegar
-coconut oil, curry paste
-olive oil, salt, pepper, lemon juice, nutritional yeast
-canola oil, salt, pepper, lemon juice, dill, fresh tomato
-the possibilities are endless!
