"Baked" Potato with Steamed Broccolli and Sausage-less Sausage

Super Easy Dinner

"Baked" Potato - Scrub your potato clean under running water with a brush.  Perforate skin with a few knive or fork holes.  Microwave medium sized potato for 5 minutes.

Steamed Broccoli - wash and cut up broccoli. (1/2-1 cup depending how hungry you are!)

Put it into a pan with 1/2 c. water.  Use a steamer if you have one.

Turn heat on high until boiling.  

Turn the heat down and simmer for 5 minutes.  

Drain and put on top of your "baked" potato.

"Sausage"

Microwave your "sausage" for 30 seconds.  

Cut up and put on top of the potato and broccoli.

Super Easy Salmon Tacos

Ingredients
Corn tortillas
Salsa
Spinach
Cooked Salmon
(See Tim's Perfect Salmon recipe)http://healthyfoodforahealthyou.blogspot.com/2011/07/tims-perfect-salmon.html

Last night I looked in the fridge for some inspiration.  I had leftover salmon.  I like mine with the cajun seasoning!
All I had to do was heat up the salmon, warm up the tortillas, spoon a little salsa on the tortilla and add some spinach. Yum!

Easy Oats Breakfast

Hot Oatmeal with soy milk.

Cold oat cereal with soymilk.

This makes a super easy and healthy breakfast.

Ingredients

1 large container

1 measuring cup to keep in container.  1/2 cup is a serving size.

1 container of old fashioned oats.

1 package of raisins or cranberries

1 package of chopped walnuts or almonds

Directions

Open up your packages.

Pour some oats into your container.

Then sprinkle in some raisins,

Then sprinke in some walnuts.

Repeat until the container is almost full.

Cover and shake to mix.

Put in your measuring scoop.

Now you are all ready for breakfast!

This is usually what I have for breakfast in various forms.  

You can eat it cold.

You can it it hot.  

You can just add water.  I like to add soy milk.

You can add fresh fruit.

I like to add 1/2 scoop vanilla soy protein powder for extra protein.

You can switch the nuts and use a different kind other than walnut such as almond.

You can switch the raisins and use cranberries.

The best part is that you make it ahead of time and all you have to do is scoop it out of the container instead of mixing it everyday.

While the onion is cooking,  rinse all beans.
Combine all ingredients in a large pot and stir.
Bring to a boil on high and simmer on low for 60 minutes.
Serve with brown rice.
Makes 12 servings.
I like to freeze half of it and save it for when I don't have time to cook!

Soy chorizo is hard to find.  We get ours at: Pete's Fruit Market.
If you can't find soy chorizo use lean ground turkey.
