I decided that I did not have the energy to go for a long run this morning. My training schedule has a long run scheduled for Saturday or Sunday - this gives me the flexibility when I am home or, if I am traveling with the band, the opportunity to decide which weekend day will be better for long run. I also need at least 1 day where my body can recover from 6 days of running and weight training.
I am looking for some quick vegetarian lunch options when I do not have dinner leftovers in the refrigerator. I have been making avocado sandwiches and other vegetarian sandwiches but would like an easy hot lunch option. Feel free to leave any recipes or ideas in the comments!

For a hot lunch I like to make a meal of a grain (either brown rice or quinoa cooked with veggie broth instead of water) and sauteed veggies- my favorite mix is mushrooms, onions, and red/yellow/orange peppers with a little garlic. Sometimes I add a little parm. cheese on top. Also a baked potato loaded with roasted or sauteed veggies is pretty filling. Both are easy and quick.
ReplyDeleteReginaverow - These are great ideas. We have a Zojirushi Rice Cooker which is great for rice and quinoa. I can turn it on in the morning and it stays warm all day long. Stir fry vegetables only take about 15 minutes to make so I might keep some prepped in the refrigerator for lunches. I have been eating a lot of quinoa for dinner. My wife made some quinoa patties this week for dinner and I have been eating them for lunches because they are so good.
