Easy Quinoa and Black Bean Salad

I have had an interesting few months and I am ready to drop some weight. So, it is back to eating as healthy as I can and remembering why it feels so good.

Here is the recipe I had for dinner tonight.

1.5-2 cups cooked quinoa
1 can black beans (drained)
1 cup canned corn (drained) or frozen corn(cooked)
1/4 c. olive oil
2 tbsp vinegar
1 tbs chili powder
1 tbsp garlic salt

Directions
1. cook and cool quinoa (or use leftover)
2. Add black beans, corn, oil, vinegar, chili powder, and garlic salt
3. Mix well.
4. Serve chilled.


That's it. I thought it was good. I will have it for lunch tomorrow. :-)  Any new ideas for simple, healthy meals?

I did get a lot of my garden planted. So, away we go!

I'm back...

I had such a yummy dinner tonight that it inspired me to get back on board with my healthy eating (again!). I finally feel like myself and I am up for cooking. I saw my friend making Asparagus Pasta at her house, so I called her for the recipe. It is a Body for Life recipe that she modified. I am also soaking beans to make a 15 bean soup tomorrow. Back to Meatless Mondays!!

I also picked up a Square Foot Gardening Book. Always looking for more ideas!!
