I came home with some cramps a little early today; its one of the reasons I am so fond of my home. I'm close enough to school to walk back and forth comfortably and quickly, so I can come home for a break if I need it. I haven't been feeling great in anticipation for a couple of days, so I'm a little relived that its here so that I can deal with it and move on.
I made some lunch, although I may not have totally needed it - I made a very tasty oatmeal breakfast this morning. Regardless, lunch was good, a repeat from last night.
I mixed the left over quinoa/orzo/couscous mixture from last week with some refried beans to make a thick paste. I heated it up, then mixed in tomato chunks, green onion, cilantro, chipotle/garlic salsa, and siracha hot sauce. Tasty, filling and healthy!
The grain mixture is part me, part purchased. I get an "autumn harvest" grain mix at trader joes, a mixture of Israeli couscous, orzo, and red quinoa. I mix it with normal quinoa, half and half, and sometimes rice. When I cook it (rice cooker for the win!) I use 2:1 grains to water, and dump in a can of black beans, well rinsed. It's one of my favorite things to make.
