HEALTHY GLUTEN RECIPE - Vegan Garlic Bread:

I eat gluten in the form of whole, good quality bread and pasta when I feel like it, but not as the base of my diet. And when I eat it, it must be in its most natural form of bread and pasta, as opposed to a processed product or soy sauce. Today I just needed bread- it was cold, I had buckets of veggies in soup and salads earlier, I was tired and was craving garlic. Here is what I made in 30 secs:

-two slices truly whole grain bread that has no additives. Just the ingredients the Romans put in their bread

-covered them in virgin olive oil - great source of omegas

-topped with 6 cloves chopped garlic - great for your immune system

-put in toaster oven until garlic was browned

Totally hits the spot without being ‘bad’ for you.

QUINOA DELIGHT: Almost every vitamin and color here, and with protein, and in 5 minutes.  

Put Olive Oil in a Pan with optional diced garlic or white onion.  Add sliced Bell Peppers, sliced Mushrooms, shreds of cabbage, and peas.  Let cook on medium heat for 2 minutes.   Add quinoa and 2 handfuls of baby spinach. Cover with a lid and let cook for the remainder of the five minutes.  Serve warm or cold. Spice if you like.  THAT IS IT. 

….and…. this was made with all leftover bits and pieces.  There is always a way to be healthy… it is the I.AM.YOU. WAY.
