Workout was after school
This Fat blaster and 2 miles
Tonights dinner was quinoa… Yummo.
It was a Chicken, Veggie, Quinoa dish.
Ingredients:
1 cup rinsed quinoa
2 cups chicken broth
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 garlic scapes, chopped
1/2 cup fennel, chopped
2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves – cut into strips
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 zucchini, diced
1 tomato, diced
1 bell pepper diced
1 cup broccoli
1/2 cup carrots
4 ounces crumbled feta cheese
8 fresh basil leaves
1 tablespoon lime juice
Directions:
1.Bring the quinoa and chicken broth to a boil in a saucepan; reduce heat to a simmer and cover the pan. Simmer until the broth is absorbed, the quinoa is fluffy, and the white line is visible in the grain, about 12 minutes.
2.Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet; cook and stir the garlic scapes and fennel about 5 minutes. Stir in the chicken breast strips and cook until the chicken is still slightly pink in the middle, about 5 more minutes. Remove the chicken meat and set aside. Pour 2 more tablespoons of olive oil in the skillet and cook and stir the rest of your veggies, 5 to 8 minutes. Return chicken to skillet and sprinkle with feta cheese, basil leaves, and lime juice. Cook until the chicken is fully cooked and hot, about 10 more minutes. Serve over hot quinoa.
This was really good and you could omit the chicken to make a great vegetarian meal! Quinoa is really good for you and a great protein source.

This morning I got up bright and early to get ready for my test. After my test and during my break I went to write y’all a post on my breakfast and lunch but for some reason my phone refused to do it! So after school I plugged it in and tried to upload the pictures from it to show you, buuuut it is taking absolutely forever! It freezes every time I move the track pad! Thank god for my warranty because I’m taking it in to get fixed. Finally the pictures downloaded on after it took me 2 hours of trying to get into app world to delete some apps to make it faster. Okay now that I’m done venting lets move onto breakfast.
