A Few More Metabolic Balance Meal Ideas

Excuse the bite - I forgot to take a picture before I starting eating!  I'm not a huge roast beef fan but for something different, I made an open-faced roast beef sandwich.

Spread whole-grain mustard on the bread (I toasted mine first).  Add chopped onion or shallot, tomato and ground pepper.  Preheat broiler on high, and broil for 2-3 minutes.  I added lettuce to my sandwich after it was cooked from some fresh greens!  This meal was messy but quite yummy.

For dinner one night, we decided to barbeque some chicken.  For my small piece, I coated the chicken with turmeric and paprika and served it with cinnamon turnip cubes!  Also very delicious!  Turnip is one of those vegetables I do like but never buy so it's been fun learning how easy it is to cook the tuber in a variety of ways.

And for lunch today, I probably chose one of the messiest metabolic balance meals possible!  Rarely do I buy shrimp to cook at home, mainly because Bryan is allergic to it.  However, to switch my protein up, I thought I could do something fun with some shrimp this week.  This concoction is my own making.  Next time, though, I'll put the shrimp onto cook first because my vegetables were way overcooked.  :(  

I sauteed, in vegetable stock, carrot, asparagus and chopped bok choy.  I added the shrimp and some Jamaican curry powder and parsley flakes and let the shrimp cook through.  The flavor of the dish was very enjoyable!
