You are currently browsing the tag archive for the ‘brown rice’ tag.

Black beans, brown rice, red leaf lettuce, red onion, shredded zucchini, tomato, avocado, black olives and salsa. Healthy and crazy good.

Woohoo for part 2! No more sweet taters after this dinner. Used the rest all up. (if you need a catch up, check out pt.1)

Some of the suggestions listed sweet potato and black beans, with lime and guac. Sounds amazing doesn’t it??

So here I give you my inspired creation:

Sweet potatoes
black beans
cumin, cinnamon
fresh tomatoes
marinated tofu

served on a bowl of brown rice and topped with
fresh cilantro
avacado
sour cream
and lime

The addition of the cinnamon REALLY burst all these flavors together. I’ll have to add it to more of these kinds of dishes. Thanks PPKers! i love you guys!

Super low fat burrito: Black Beans, Roasted Butternut Squash & Onions, Brown Rice, Whole-wheat flour low-fat tortilla, Fat Free Tillamook sour cream, & Fresh salsa.

The picture was taken in the middle of my munchfest but i wanted to show just how ugly this hidden beauty is, the butternut squash is definately the missing ingredient i was looking for.

I’m all about bringing home-made Burritos to work for lunches b/c I ride the bus to work and look for the easiest and fastest healthiest ways to eat at work. In the morning i grab a small container that already has the beans-rice-squash mix, a folded up flour tortilla in a little baggy, and then i spoon in a little dallop of sour cream into a tiny jar with some fresh salsa. everything is premade from a couple nights previous and ready for me to throw in my bag and run out the door. When i”m in the break room, i warm up the rice mix and put the tortilla ontop of the steaming hot rice. this way, by the time i get to my cube, the tortilla is warm and flexible and ready to be wrapped into a burrito! its super easy and beats the hell outta a boring sandwich or last nights leftovers.

* special Thanks to Woodz for putting 2 & 2 together!
