Cilantro Lime Quinoa

I've really become a fan of quinoa. Tonight I had a meeting and I needed to bring something for our pot luck. I made this. So simple and easy. So here's the thing...I dont like to measure. I eyeball it. My Momma cooks like that so thats where I picked that up from. I always measure when I bake because that usually has to be accurate. Boil 1c quinoa to 2c water.

Mix 1/4c of olive oil and the juice of 2 limes w 2 dashes of cumin and red peper flakes to taste like 1tsp.

Chop cilantro, tomato and green onions and add it to the black beans and quinoa.
Toss and enjoy

It was really good. Refreshing.

Is your fridge a garden or a morgue?

Pokey and I love to grocery shop. It's what we do lol. I really love that he is cool w the fact that I'm not eating meat and don't care for it in the house. I feel it take up space and why do that when I can put veggies in its place!  First shelf: almond milk, black berries, cilantro, cherries, yogurt (his) apple sauce that my momma brought over for Angie's kids. I need to give that to her. And BEER!!! Bobby gave it to Pokey  Second shelf: Salad stuff. Spinach, spring mix, feta cheese, avocado and tomatoes  Third shelf: Green grapes, mushrooms and corn. HEB 5 for $1  Fourth shelf: Eggplant (Pokey's) red grapes, watermelon and cauliflower. Pickled jalapeño. Pokeys choice. Not mine "/   Vegetable drawer: Bell pepper, tomato, broccoli, cucumbers, poblano pepper and small red orange and yellow peppers  Counter: FRUIT!!! Bananas, pineapples, apples, pear, lemon and limes.  I LOVE COLOR!!!!

21 Day Sugar Detox

Monday after Super Bowl some friends and I started this detox. I was nervous, excited, anxious and scared. I didn't know what to expect. It went well.  I are a lot like this. No sugar meant no bread or processed foods. I lost 9lbs. It felt good. It did change my way of thinking about sweets. I don't crave them. I guess that was the point lol.  I'm glad it's over but I've been following the diet for the most part.
