I have heard time and again to not have carbs after 3, or 2, or 12... But dinner always had pasta or rice or bread. Until now! I have been learning to make more veggie and protein based meals. Including cauliflower crust pizza! Tonight I tried something new and ALL FOUR of us ate our dinner! Everyone loved it! So here goes: (I don't really measure, I make stuff up as I go so I'm guessing low on measurements and you may need more than I say)
2 baked chicken breasts diced
1 baked acorn squash - after baked I scooped out pulp with a spoon in chunks
About 1 cup uncooked broccoli
1/4c chopped onion
4 garlic cloves chopped
2 tbsp olive oil
3 carrots chopped
I tossed the veggies in the olive oil until heated, added 1/2 veggie bouillon cube and a cup of water with about 1 tsp of Italian seasoning. I added the chicken and reduced heat to med-low to steam the broc and carrots some (maybe 1-2 min). I added a few pieces of fresh cilantro and turned off heat. Served as is. So yummy!!!
If you are like me and get hungry before bed with these meals, I drink water all evening and have 1/2 an apple if needed. I'm getting used to it now that I don't need the apple very often.
