Fast food? Without toxins. Without breaking the bank. Michelle Tennant Nicholson cooks up red quinoa and lentils in her rice cooker for a fast and nutrition dense meal. She uses "Seeds of Change" Organic Jalfrezi Simmer Sauce, but you can also add 1 cup diced tomatoes or tomato sauce seasoned with curry to 1/2 quinoa and 1/2 cup lentils AFTER they've cooked through in the rice cooker. Add coconut milk to the tomatoes and curry for a different flavor experience. Michelle uses her Yum Yum Dishes www.YumYumDish.com because 1 cup of lentils, quinoa & sauce packs a calorie punch of about 418 calories -- perfect for a balanced lunch of protein and complex carbs after a workout or for a busy day meal. If you don't have quinoa, use brown rice. Or, use a full cup of lentils and no rice or quinoa. If you do that, the lentils and the sauce are less calories and about 200 calories a half cup/one Yum Yum Dish. People who are watching carbs might do just the lentils for high protein.

Suburban to Sustainable Michelle continues to research and share her own experience throughout 2011. *****NOTE! ***** In the video, Michelle says 1 cup of the recipe is about 200 calories and that's true if you just use lentils. If you use lentils and quinoa, the calorie count for 1/2 cup (with sauce) is about 418 calories. So, be sure to check what you're adding to ...
