FOODY FRIdays: a simple and delicious lunch & dinner!

What did I have for lunch today?

I wanted to share this extremely easy to make, healthy and satisfying meal that you can make in no time packed full of nutrients and good stuff! **great for gluten/wheat & dairy sensitive tummies!**

Basil pesto wild salmon with roasted sweet potatoes and quinoa
(mmm…I know your mouth watered a little bit!)

Ingredients:
Wild salmon fillet
Organic Basil pesto sauce (gluten-free, pre-made from Whole Foods)
Organic sweet potato-cubed, skin on
1 cup of quinoa, cooked
drizzle of organic extra virgin olive oil
salt, pepper, dried dill, dried basil

pre-heat mini-oven to 420 degrees, place cubed sweet potato into foil, drizzle extra virgin olive oil, add salt, pepper, dried dill and basil. Wrap up, place into oven set for about 35 mins.
While its in there, place the salmon in another foil, add salt, spoon about a tablespoon or so of the basil pesto sauce onto the salmon. Wrap it up, with about 20 mins left, add that to the oven.
When you are waiting for the time to get down to 20 mins left, prepare the quinoa (it is made exactly like rice…please tell me you know how to make rice..!!)

Take a look at all this deliciousness……yummmmm




And for dinner?

Another quick, easy, gluten/wheat free meal…highly nutritious and not lacking any of the Mmmm-factor.

Coconut curry chicken with broccoli, red pepper & onion on basmati rice.
(drooling a bit maybe?)

Ingredients: (I made enough for 3-4 people)
3 organic chicken breasts
stalk of organic broccoli
half a large organic onion
half an organic red pepper
package of organic gluten/wheat free coconut curry sauce from Whole Foods (Happy Planet bland)
1 ½ cups of basmati rice, uncooked
organic coconut oil

Cook rice as directed on bag. Melt about a tablespoon of coconut oil, stir fry chopped onion until caramelized, add cubed chicken breasts (salt and pepper to taste), when it is cooked, add veggies. Stir fry for a few more minutes, then add curry sauce, simmer for 5 minutes, you’re done!! Serve all this yummy-goodness over the rice.

I couldn’t even take a photo of the dish…too hungry, started chowing on it immediately. So you only the leftovers…





Both meals can be ready to be eaten in about 30 minutes!

Until next time team, nutritious, healthy, gluten/wheat free and QUICK meals are NOT an oxymoron!!

Health respect & happiness,
