So last night I was still feeling sick and I was just not in the mood to cook. However, I was still hungry, so I mustered up the strength to throw something together. This is a variation on my last post, but completely vegan. I started with some olive oil and fried up some onions and peppers.
I want to use this as an opportunity to talk about margarine. Up until a few weeks ago, I thought that margarine was awesome! It has significantly less calories than oil, and of course butter, its cheap and its easy to spread on bread and other foods. HOW WRONG WAS I! I didn't realize, or care to look up, just how bad margarine is for you. I don't want to lecture you, so check out this article from Wellness Mama to see what I'm talking about. Throw out your margarine now :)
OK, back to dinner. I have a serious love for pesto, as everyone should, so for this dish I mixed a traditional pesto with a tomato pesto from Wegmans. It's a nice change to a lovely condiment. Then I added some instant brown rice and that was it!
If you take anything from this post, don’t let laziness effect the way you eat. Quick, simple, homemade meals and snacks can make a big difference in your overall health. It only took about 15 minutes, and its vegan and healthy! Give it a try and let me know what you all think!
k!
