Stop worrying about dieting. Just eat whole foods that come out of the earth and not the foods that fertilize it. Ken Carlile, Blogger at www.ieatplants.com

Nothing for dinner

Quinoa-Spinach Dinner



Ever think "I've got nothing in the fridge to make for dinner"? You have to eat and don't feel like going out or to the grocery store. I went through the fridge and I had some spinach and salsa. In the cupboards lots of dried rice, pasta, couscous and quinoa. I also had the Textured Soy Protein (TSP) pieces that I talked about in previous posts....oh, and some avocados from my tree that just ripened today. This is what how I made it.

3 cups of water
1/2 cup TSP chunks
1 cup quinoa
3 cups spinach
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp dried sage
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 avocado diced
1/2 cup salsa
1/2 cup cooked black beans
1 Tbl Braggs Amino
Fresh Ground Pepper to taste (or a teaspoon)

Boil the water with all of the dried herbs and spices. Add the TSP for five minutes and remove with a slotted spoon to a bowl and add some of the liquid from the pot. You should keep about 2 cups in the pot.

Put the quinoa in the pot, cover and cook for 10 minutes. After ten minutes, remove the lid and add the spinach. There should be enough water left to cook the spinach. Store it into the quinoa and cook for another two minutes covered.

Slice the TSP into strips When the quinoa/spinach are done, put it in a bowl and add the TSP, salsa, avocado and Braggs Amino. That's it. 15 minutes start to finish, unless you count the "I've got nothing in he fridge to cook time".
