Hungry for lunch and in the midst of watching my kids make peanut butter and jam sandwiches and eating left over spaghetti and meatballs I found myself starving for a good meal. Something warm and filling. I had some left over quinoa so I decided to make something around that and I have to say - it turned out awesome so I thought I would share: Quinoa Fried Rice Mushrooms (about 1 cup chopped in larger pieces) any kind - I used Portabellas One strip of turkey bacon - crisp **yes you only need one!** 1/3 cup of cooked quinoa (mine was actually cooked in fat free broth which gives it a nice salty taste) Bean Sprouts (about 1/2) 1/2 cup of egg whites (egg whites are your friend, good protein and very little points) Cilantro Fresh Garlic (to taste) - I used one clove Green Onion/Chives 1-2 Pam sprays (1) Spray Pam on a pan (LOL!) and sautee the mushrooms, green onions, garlic, turkey bacon cut is smaller pieces. Cook until everything looks good enough to eat. (2) Add egg whites and stir until they are cooked (3) Add quinoa, bean sprouts and cilantro (saute for a minute or so)
