You'll Love it as much as I do! {Recipe}

I'm excited to start sharing recipes with you that will stand on their own and that can be incorporated into my meal planning program for even more ease and speed. 

Here is a super healthy, simple, fast recipe. This is the stand alone version.

However, if you sign up for Meal Planning for Healthy Family Harmony, you will see that this recipe fits perfectly into the "mid week" category, when you have already done the "prep heavy" meal earlier in the week. AND you will continue to get simple, fast, healthy recipes sent to you directly.

--> GO BEYOND MEAL PLANNING HERE.<-- 

If you have peanut sauce on hand (which keeps for weeks in the fridge if you use only shelf stable ingredients), and if you've made the grains earlier in the week (step one of Beyond Meal Planning), and if you've already chopped veggies (step two of beyond meal planning)...

Well imagine how quickly this super healthy meal would come together!!
Five minutes!!!

Peanut Sauce Delight
Peanut sauce is a staple in my kitchen.  It is great for a quick, easy, healthy meal.  You just whip up the peanut sauce (if you didn’t already have it on hand), steam some vegetables and roast some tofu/chicken/meat if you like, then cook some rice or other grain (quinoa is a favorite because of it’s high protein and minerals) - or maybe you committed to the first step of "Meal Planning Beyond Meal Planning" - COOK GRAINS - so you already have that ready to go, too. 

Serve it all with a bowl of peanut sauce and it’s a solid meal, ready in 15 minutes (or less!). 
 
Basic Peanut Sauce
  • 1 part peanut butter
  • 1 part oil (peanut, sesame, or light olive)
  • Asian hot sauce or crushed red peppers to taste 
  • 1 part vinegar (rice wine vinegar give it a good Asian flair, though cider vinegar works well, too) 
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Water to thin
 
Other optional ingredients include:
  • Garlic (minced, leave out or use powdered for longer shelf life)
  • Miso paste or broth (leave out for longer shelf life)
  • Seaweed flakes
  • Wasabi powder or paste
  • Sesame seeds (white or black, toasted or not)

First put the brown rice or quinoa on to cook (20-45 minutes).
Then, whip together the peanut sauce using a whisk or fork (5 minutes).
Then steam veggies, such as: carrots, snap peas, green beans, bell peppers, broccoli, etc. (5-10 minutes). You can serve some raw as well for the finicky little fingers. 

When grains are done, serve veggies on a platter, peanut sauce in a bowl, and rice from the pot! 

Let me know if you have any questions about my new Meal Planning Beyond Meal Planning. It's a program unlike any others I've ever discovered (and I'm compulsive about my health and food research!).

By integrating prep throughout the week you can have healthy food on hand without spend hours in the kitchen at one time.
