Quinoa Fried Rice Type Thing


I promise you this lunch was so much better than it looks here. Don't ask my 5 year old though, she is still mad at me since I make her take 3 whole bites of it, and wouldn't make her a separate lunch since she didn't like it--which she said before she tried it. AND I loved it, hubby loved it and Bubba the 3 year old downed two bowls....so she's outvoted and gonna be mighty hungry come dinner time.

I made almost a whole cup of quinoa with 2 cups water and 1 chicken bouillon cube. While that was cooking I put in a skillet a bit of all natural pork sausage and cooked. Added an egg and scrambled it, threw in some bell peppers and chicken breast I had pre cooked from the refrigerator  I added all this together and let it simmer for about 5 minutes and put half an avocado on the bottom of my bowl, add my portion and ATE IT UP!!

I sent my hubby this picture at work, he hadn't been answering my phone calls so I text him and said, "lunch is awesome, better hurry home!" He was so cute and called me right away, couldn't come home but asked for me to save him some...so I did what any good wife would do, I added it to Tupperware and took it to my lil love muffin.

With a call half hour later telling me how delicious it was.

Cheap, quick, nutritious--doesn't get much faster food than that--I guarantee I would've waited longer in line at Mickey D's for lunch than making this.
