I worked from memory and didn't have some ingredients but I made it work nonetheless. I used my new panini grill my lovely mother purchased for me as a housewarming gift and grilled a series of veggies, namely red and yellow peppers, zucchini, and eggplant. I also grilled sweet potato slices, although I will bake them next time for the fluffy effect as they turned out a bit chewy on the grill. I cut up some avocado and drenched it in lemon, but totally forgot about the sundried tomatoes I had in the fridge - next time! Earlier today I had purchased brown basmati rice so I set that to cook. Did you know that stuff takes 50 minutes?! The wait is definitely worth it - brown basmati rice is like oatmeal; your body takes a longer time to digest it relative to other carbs, so it keeps you full and satisfied. It's also chewy and perfect with a little dressing. Speaking of which, I whisked a gorgeous one together, with equal parts extra virgin olive oil, honey, and lemon juice, and a dash of balsamic vinegar for a little sweetness. Drizzled it over the veggies and rice, sat on the couch, and forgot about everything but the bowl of happiness on my lap.
This kind of food makes your insides feel good... It makes you feel energetic, healthy, and satisfied. No greasy, remorseful aftertaste and NOT how I felt after trying Five Guys for the first time last week, although it was undeniably delicious. Anyhow, back to the bowl. I can't say enough good things about sweet potatoes, avocado, and brown basmati rice, and the rest of the ingredients aren't that bad either. ;) Give it a try - it will make you FEEL different!
