Introduction

I put this together for lunch when I got home late and was really hungry, but didn't want to binge. It consisted of what I could find in the fridge, freezer and pantry. This makes 2 servings, so I have something to heat up quick later. I put this together for lunch when I got home late and was really hungry, but didn't want to binge.

Ingredients

    *StarKist Selects Very Low Sodium Chunk White Albacore Tuna in Water - half the can
    *Almond Slices, 0.25 cup
    *Carrots, Matchstick, 3 oz
    *Baby Bellas, sliced, 0.25 cup
    Asparagus, fresh, 1 cup, chopped
    Celery, raw, .25 cup, diced
    *Birds Eye Whole Grain Brown Rice - 2 servings (the whole bag)
    *Vinegar - Natural Rice Vinegar, 2 tbsp
    *Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 1 tbsp
    Soy sauce, low sodium, 1 tsp

Directions

steam the vegetables (I used my Pampered Chef micro-cooker, but you can steam them any way you like) The brown rice steams in the bag in about 4 minutes in the microwave. Stir in the oil, vinegar, soy sauce and almonds. You can season this more if you want. I added cracked pepper, garlic powder, dried parsley and chives and paprika. I didn't account for them in the nutritional information to allow for taste preferences. I was also trying to keep it low sodium. To make it a full meal, add a glass of fat-free milk and a piece of raw fruit.
