So, this meal right here… This one had so many ingredients that I forgot to add some of them to the recipe. To start off, I always like to have at least 3 essential ingredients to kickstart every meal (since each meal isn’t planned, but made on the spot)… The essentials would be a mixed green (spring mix, arugula, spinach), cabbage, and a grain/legume (beans, lentils, quinoa, etc.). Once I’ve added the essentials, everything else is the cherry on top!
For this specific meal, my focus was to finish up the leftover chicken sausage in the fridge, because of my transition from keto diet, to more of a high carb, low-fat diet. Ok to be completely honest, the chicken sausage made the entire meal taste delicious (that salty meat taste).
Anyways back to the meal.. A rule of thumb I always like to keep in my head is that my plate should consist of 60% veggies, 30% carbs, and 10% meat – and that’s exactly how I felt making this meal. All of the vegetables you see in this meal will contain a certain amount of carbs and of course, a bunch of vitamins. I’m no doctor, but I know for a fact that eating a variety of vegetables everyday can only benefit my health for the best.
Ok this whole commentary thing is new to me, so sorry (not sorry) if I go on and on about food/health! It will improve with time, as all things do. It honestly feels like I’m writing every single thought I have, onto this text box!
Anyways I hope you enjoyed this blog post. Would love for you to comment anything you found interesting or have any questions on. I’m more than happy to engage!
