What's for dinner?

[Tssiemer1 549]

Hello Elode,

I have made my own but not tonight. Bought from Jungle Jim's in Fairfield ,Ohio, the best International grocer around. Souvlaki is Greek and back in the day I worked at a Greek restaurant while in college and learned to make some cool dishes.

I love pork tenderloin.

Hey!!!! I live in Mason!!! I love Jungle Jims!!

Ok so I switched out the salad for greens and made my husband mashed potatoes (his plate) that marinade was AWESOME!!! One of the best things I've made in awhile! Def try that marinade!!

Boring dinner because I was running around today. Half a veggie burger with a bit of cheese and fried onions over romaine. Now I'm sipping an Isopure Nocarb to get the rest of my Protein in for the day then back to my Water.< /p>

@@lauraellen80 Did your quinoa turn out soft? I've never had it turn out soft but maybe it's not suppose too?

Yeah, it was pretty soft. The recipe has you add the quinoa and Water as stuff and then bring it to a boil and simmer it with the lid on for 25-30 min. I did 25, stirred it, and then covered it for another 5.

My dinner tonight was simple because I had to work today. I have grilled salmon and about 1/4 sweet potato.

@@Elode I am jealous of those beets... Roasted beets are my favorite. I will have to make some this week. I am also going to try that tasty looking marinade.

[Elode 8,093]

@@glitter eyes I didn't even make the beets tonight. My husnabd waits so long to eat that I didn't feel like making them. I will have them and the salad tomorrow! They are wonderful.

@@lauraellen80 I ask because if I bite into something hard when I'm eating and I don't think it should be instant vomit! I've always been that way. My mom would put a whole chicken in the crock pot and sometimes there would be a tiny hard bone....puke!

Not a fan of morning star. Too many fillers. I either make my own or I buy brands like Lightlife or Hilary's.

Properly prepared quinoa should be soft & fluffy like rice. Do you rinse your before cooking?

pizza toppings! lol not cooking but they ordered pizza at work and I took the toppings. lol

@@BLERDgirl Should I soak them first or just rinse them? I've never made a veggie burger.

@@Daveo Oh man, now I want pizza crust!

[BLERDgirl 6,417]

I just rinse. The grains are so small I would think soaking would make it mushy. I bring my (salted)water to a boil first then add quinoa. Boil on med heat with a covered lid for 6 - 10 minutes. Then turn the heat off and let sit for another 10 or until all liquids are absorbed.

@@Elode I love the crust! but I know it will fill me up fast.

Baked Swai fillet. I am really lazy with my food since I log it all, I just eat the same things over and over again. It is also easy to make one portion for a single person.
