Last night my Sista and I tried our hands at a healthy Asian dish–>Lo Mein! Who doesn’t love a good bowl of noodles with healthy veggies?!

Our first course was an Easy Brussels Sprouts Salad:

Roasted Brussels Sprouts over a bed of Earthbound Farms Power Salad (a mix of baby spinach, baby red and green chards, and baby kale) topped with 1tbs sesame seeds and Newman’s Own Sesame Ginger Dressing.

• 6oz Baby Spinach

• 1 Large Onion, thinly sliced
• 2 tsp Fresh Ginger
• 1/4 cup Soy Sauce
• 2 Tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
• 4 Large Eggs

Directions:

1. Cook Quinoa Pasta in a large pot, according to directions.
2. Before draining, add frozen broccoli, edamame, carrots, and spinach.
3. Drain well. Set Aside.
4. In the same pot, heat sesame oil. Add onion and cook 5 minutes.
5. Add ginger, soy sauce, and balsamic vinegar. Cook 1 minute.

What did everyone think of the new show Scream Queens? I love to watch shows with Mean Girls, so this was right up my alley. I did fall asleep before it ended, so I will have to finish it tonight! I literally can’t stay awake through anything. Zzzz

Let me know if you give this recipe a try!
