Healthier Recipes

To make recipes that Ya-Ya can enjoy we have started eating quinoia .  Quinoia is a grain,  it can be used similar to rice or couscous.  We have found that is does not impact blood sugar levels near as bad as other carbohydrates can. 

Today we are having Bargain Shrimp Fried 'rice'
Our amounts will be larger than yours unless you are feeding an army too!
nice one pot meal

2 lbs Shrimp
2 cups broccoli florets (frozen is fine)
4 eggs
2 cups cooked quinoia
2/3 cup soy sauce (to taste)
3 tbs dried onions
1 cup snow peas
1/2 cup shredded carrots

scramble the eggs, add soy sauce to taste, add chopped shrimp, broccoli, pea pods, and pre-cooked quinoia.

You can thicken it with cornstarch, and serve-YUM

we added homemade baked egg rolls filled with broccoli slaw
