This Quinoa Salad with Magic Green Sauce became my favorite from the first time my daughter-in-law served it for lunch during one of our visits.
It could easily be a light lunch, or as an accompaniment to a main course.
Today I will share a recipe for the salad and include a link to the sauce/dressing recipe from my previous post.
The Great Lent begins on Monday, as it always does for the Byzantine Rite Catholics.
The Great Lent for Roman Catholics does not start until Ash Wednesday, so they have two extra days to enjoy meat meals. They also celebrate a very traditional Fat Thursday, when they enjoy their delicious “Paczki”, doughnuts.
I personally like to prepare meatless meals on Wednesdays and Fridays for the duration of the Great Lent, as well as during the full Holy Week, which is the week just before Easter Sunday.
A soup, chili, or stew is one of those satisfying comfort foods we look forward to on a chilly day. My grandchildren enjoy this dish as well, so I occasionally prepare it for them as well. Preparing beef stew on top of the stove, the traditional way could be time-consuming, but it only takes 15 minutes in a pressure cooker.
Baked Sweet-Sour Red Cabbage is one of my favorite side dishes to prepare to utilize the oven while cooking a roast, or roasting a whole chicken since it takes 1.5 hours of baking to complete this recipe.
Congratulations!
The Detox Phase of the Fat Smash Diet was successfully completed after the 9th day.
Didn’t the 9 days just fly by? Aren’t you feeling better already? It feels great!
Phase Two is much easier to keep up with than Phase One, regarding the food selection. Even though we still continue with all the foods from Phase One, we are making new additions. In this phase, we are introducing back some of the foods excluded during the past nine days. The importance of eating 4-5 smaller meals per day remains in addition to the healthful snacks in between.
