Reality is knocking at our front door this morning as the turkey and shopping fog begins to lift....back to work tomorrow! Oh and time for Sunday set-up! Before I get to play Santa's little elf and decorate the house, I need to get my lunches and snacks set up so that the week will go smoothly and I'm able to spend my time doing the things I love instead of cooking! My lunches are packed, snacks measured and bagged, and later today clothes for the week will be laid out. Type A....yes thank you! If I want to go to the gym for my runs in the am before work, it is a MUST to get all of this laid out...unless I want to be speeding down Rte 6 late for work!!
As I said last week, I am trying to make my lunches vegetarian so that I can get in my 7 veggies for the HBBC. The reality is I just feel much better eating this way! With IBS though a huge salad (which would be my first choice) is just not a good idea for me and those I love! Last week I made a vegetarian chili. I had found the recipe on Food Network here. It was so yummylicious (yes that is a technical term!) This week I am using an oldie but goodie! I roast a bunch of veggies and then put them in a flax wrap with hummus. It is my favorite!!! Here is the recipe:
You need:
zucchini, red peppers, asparagus, onion, mushrooms, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and red pepper flakes
Basically throw in a bunch of veggies you like. I've also used summer squash with this too. The amount you put in depends on how much you want to make. This was what I used for today.
Cut all the veggies up and throw them into a roasting pan. Give them a generous drizzle of balsamic vinegar, a dash of olive oil, and red pepper flakes. Toss them all up so it looks like this:
Then roast them at 400 for 1 hour. I stir every so often. Then do what you will with them. I love them on a wrap and also mixed with quinoa!
