Food Friday "Quickies"

Since being pregnant I've learned how important it is to have some (mostly) healthy quick recipes for those nights when you get home from work and unlocking the door feels like a feat! They're all ones I made up so forgive the unoriginal names!

Here are a few of my favorites:
PPP...Pasta, Peas, Parmesan


Cook the pasta and peas then mix the ingredients together to personal taste and enjoy!

• Whole Wheat Pasta (I prefer rotini or a small noodle that you can eat with a spoon so you can scoop up some peas with each bite!)


• Frozen Peas


• Shredded Low Fat Parmesan cheese


• Butter (optional)


• Salt and Pepper...and Red Pepper

Rice, Peas, Chicken


Cook the rice and peas, add in a skillet with the chicken and a dash of olive oil. Cook on low heat for a few minutes. Add soy sauce to taste and that's all!

• Whole Wheat Microwaveable Rice


• Rotisserie Chicken from your local grocer, pulled off the bones


• Frozen Peas


• Low Sodium Soy Sauce

Peanut Butter and Strawberry Sandwich

Toast your bread (it tastes so much better this way because it melts the pb!), spread on peanut butter, top with sliced strawberries, drizzle with honey! YUM!

• Whole Wheat Sandwich Bread


• Natural Peanut Butter


• Strawberries


• Honey
