Veggie Rice Bowl

Here’s another 1-2-3 quick + easy vegetable meal…born of necessity. I had 2 days of leftover veggies in the refrigerator that I wanted to use and I wanted a healthy lunch.

It’s no big deal. It’s not the über recipe. And you’ve probably done meals like this yourself many times. However, it was tasty, colorful and it made me feel like I was taking good care of myself…and that’s a good thing. :)

Plus I wanted to show you a new product. I picked up this rice blend (basmati, red rice and lentils) one day and then forgot about it until I was scrounging around the pantry looking for some inspiration to make lunch.

I put about 1/4 cup of the mix in a pot to start cooking up and then I started pulling out the leftovers.

  • spinach that had been sauteed with a little olive oil, garlic, sundried tomatoes
  • 1/2 tomato that I minced and dressed with FOODalogue house seasoning
  • a few sliced brussel sprouts which has been cooked with garlic, lemon and toasted pignoli nuts

1-2-3. Mix and eat.

Finishing Touch: Drizzle of Sesame oil with chile pepper flakes.

  3. I love dishes that make you feel like you’re taking care of yourself. I’ve seen that lentil blend in the store but haven’t picked it up yet. It intrigues me now.

    Thanks for sharing the rice blend Joan. That’s one I’d be interesting in trying. It’s obvious that you take care of yourself, as Billy said back in the day, “you look marvelous”! Have a great weekend.
