I finished my first week and weigh in day is tomorrow. I feel really good about my 1st week. I’ll break it down when I write about my first weigh-in tomorrow. Over the weekend we tried a couple of new recipes from the my new Cooking Light magazine.
I have always wanted to try quinoa and this month they had an article with several ways to turn 2/3 of a cup of quinoa into something enticing. One included 2 of my favorite ingredients, tomatoes and avocado.

Quinoa, Tomato, Avocado Salad

Toss cooked quinoa in olive oil. Serving size 2/3 cups of quinoa, topped with 1/2 cup tomatoes, 1/4 avocado and 1 1/2 Tbsp. cilantro. |
We served this as a side dish and I ate only half of a serving and it was very filling. I am looking forward to finding new ways to try quinoa to incorporate this healthy grain into our meals.
What ways do you like to dress up whole grains?
