A case of the Mondays
I slept through lunch today.
When I would normally be posting something for my weekly appointment with The Blog, I had an appointment instead with Dr Sandman and a box of Scotties. Oh, dear. It’s not fair, really, because I only just got over a cold! This is maybe the second time I’ve had consecutive rhinoviruses. Making up for those 9 months in which I wasn’t sick, eh?
I’ll need to muster up some energy to cook dinner and bake some birthday brownies for a certain someone. In order to do that of course, I need to clean up the kitchen. Yeah, I’d rather be at work! But it has to be done somehow. I’ll tempt myself with the promise of yummy squash later.
Speaking of yummy things, the following combination is awesome:
quinoa + dried cranberries + black beans (from can) + Stevia to take the edge off in case you didn’t soak the quinoa long enough first.*
cosy that up with
white rice + mixed frzn veggies (I like peas/carrots/corn/lima beans mix)
eat hot, topped with grated romano cheese. for omnivores, some canned fish is good, too.
Careful not to drool into your dish if it’s as good for you as it was for me. Quinoa is also good sauteed in butter with mushrooms; however, my mushrooms decided to dry out before I could eat them, little buggers, so I had to find another option.
Wish me well for next week to be in good shape again for a less head-cold inspired post. Oh, in the meantime, check out all the press my favourite little campaign has been garnering lately!
*The quinoa + cranberry dish is inspired by my sister. The quinoa + black bean combination is inspired by a steaming hot, delicious meal from the Foundation restaurant on Main St. in Vancouver.
