Easter Sunday!

Good afternoon everyone! I hope you all are enjoying your family and friends on this day.

We opted to go for a healthy and lean alternative for our Easter Sunday meal.

Grilled Salmon with Grilled Asparagus and Parmesan couscous!

All we did was add salt,black pepper,  and garlic powder to the salmon. We seasoned the asparagus the same way and coated them with canola oil. We added them to the grill and cooked the asparagus for 20 minutes on low heat (150-200 degrees on a charcoal grill) and we cooked the salmon for 30 minutes on low heat.

For Couscous instructions, we just purchased a box of couscous and followed the cooking instructions.

Try this recipe one day next week and have a blessed day!

Mushroom Veggie Burgers with a vegetable medley and Feta & Caramelized Onion phyllo cups

Good evening everyone!

We just finished dinner and we tried something new....BURGERS! Although the thought of a veggie burger had us worried, it actually turned out to be a good meal.

We opted for the Morningstar Mushroom Burgers. All we did was put the burgers on the grill and allowed it to cook for about 2-3 minutes per side or until the frozen patties are completely cooked. Add a little cheese, avocado, and tomatoes and you're done!

For the sides, we just purchased a box of the Archer Farms Feta and Caramelized Onions phyllo cups and a bag of the Market Pantry Italian veggie medley from Target. Cook as instructed on the bag and box.

Enjoy!

Veggie Fried Rice

Happy Sunday everyone!

We decided to make Veggie Fried Rice today.

The good thing about this recipe is that we use the same process to cook this meal as we do for the Veggie Stir Fry. All we did was substitute the noodles with brown rice cooked in vegetable broth.

Directions for Brown rice
1) Combine 2 cups of vegetable broth, 1 cup of brown rice, and a tablespoon of butter into a pot.
2) Bring this all to a boil then cover the pot and let it simmer on low for 35-40 minutes.
3) The rice is ready when it is light and fluffy.

Take a look at our recipe for the Stir Fry and give this new recipe a try!
