Leeky Salmon + Green Beans + Quinoa

Love it when I can make dinner during the week!

I was experimenting with leeks. I have never used them before, quite honestly I didnt even know how to cut them, until last night!

Start with your leek

cut the green top and the bottom root-part off

then slice the middle section

steamed green beans

Quinoa + leftovers for the week

mixed and placed in small bowl:
2tbsp olive oil
s&p
chopped leeks
then brushed that on my salmon ~~ If you dont double dip your brush, dump the rest in your quinoa for extra flavor
I placed it under the broiler for 9 minutes

And wahla! Dinner is served!

Tuna Wrap

Lunch today was a tuna wrap. nutritious. easy. delicious.

Ingredients:
1 brown rice tortilla
1 pouch tuna in water
2 tbsp greek yogurt
1/2 carrot, diced
1/2 lemon, juiced
Parsley
oh yes, and when i am cooking with tuna- I ALWAYS have a helper!

Place all ingredients into mini food processor. If you dont have a mini food processor, place in a bowl and start mixing! The food processor just helps to mix it and break up the tuna very fast!

place on brown rice tortilla with some baby spinach

my tortilla split on the sides. I think thats just the nature of brown rice tortillas. enjoy :)
