Mon Feb 9th - What I'm Eating

Breakfast: parts of a banana, an orange, a string cheese, and some yogurt with raisins, honey, and almonds...all shared with my little guy

Lunch: Ezekiel corn tortilla quesadillas with black beans (which had been soaked...)

Snack: about half an apple with some cheddar cheese

Dinner: Salmon baked with olive oil and seasoning, Quinoa (soaked) with Spinach and Feta, and a big baby greens salad with homemade balsamic vinaigrette.

Snack: dried cranberries and pistachios

Analysis: not a bad day - dinner was delicious, the quinoa dish was awesome! I soaked the quinoa and the black beans for over 24 hours, then transferred them to the fridge until time to use them. I didn't notice any differences in taste or texture, so that was a good thing, I think! I would definitely be less to do it if I not only had to plan a day or two in advance, but then my food didn't taste right afterwards... So there you go, my first foray into soaking beans and grains, aside from buying Ezekiel stuff...
