Summer Vegetable Quinoa Salad

After a much needed hot yoga session on Saturday Morning, I wanted something light and delicious to eat for lunch!
So I sort of just whipped up this concoction with a little help from the suggested recipe on the back of the quinoa box. :)
It was really yummy.. but you need to eat lots in order to feel full.

What You'll Need:

Salad:

• Avacodo
• Tomatoes
• Red Onions
• Cucumber
• Quinoa (I just make a big batch and store what I don't use in the fridge for recipes throughout the week!)

Dressing:

• 3 tbs of Olive Oil
• 3 tbs of Red Wine Vinegar
• Salt & Pepper to Taste
• 1/2 tsp Red Chili Flakes
• 1 garlic minced

What To Do:

1. It's pretty straightforward, but mix up your salad dressing and set aside.
2. Cook your quinoa according to the box.
3. Chop up your veggies
4. Add the dressing and the quinoa to the veggie bowl.
5. Enjoy? lol

Parm Cheese & Bread Crumb Coated Asparagus

I found this recipe on Pinterest from a really cool new food blog I found!! Go check them out!

Last night, John and I had to babysit my stepsister. We had tons of food that we bought at the beginning of the week to cook up so we thought we'd have a barbecue! I had a bunch of Asparagus saved so when I found this recipe, I thought I'd try something new. My boyfriend wasn't a fan, but my step sister and me loved it! Best part? It's SO easy!

What You'll Need:

• One Bunch of Asparagus
• 1 tsp of Chili Powder
• 1/2 cup of Bread Crumbs (I used Panko)
• 1/2 cup of Parmesan Cheese
• Salt & Pepper to Taste
• 1 egg, beaten.

What To Do:

1. Preheat Oven to 350 degrees. Lay out some tinfoil on a baking sheet and put olive oil or PAM on it.
2. Mix together your bread crumbs, cheese, salt & pepper and chili powder.
3. Dip each stem of asparagus (make sure to cut off the ends) in the beaten egg and then in the bread mixture.
4. Once all asparagus stems are coated, put in the oven for 15-18 minutes or until asparagus is soft.
5. Enjoy!
