What's for dinner?

Tilapia- I marinated it with lime juice, olive oil, sea salt, a little agave syrup, parsley, cilantro and minced garlic. Then broiled it for about 10 minutes.

Quinoa with asparagus for a side.  Made 2 cups of quinoa and set aside.  Then in a skillet, add olive oil and 1 can of garbanzo beans (drained), add a little sea salt and garlic.  Cook the garbanzo beans for about 2 minutes and then add the chopped asparagus. Add a lid to the asparagus for a few minutes until bright green and a little soft.   In another small skillet...toast slivered almonds.  Then add quinoa to the beans, asparagus and almonds.  You can top with squeezed lemon if you would like.

Helpful Hints about buying organic

I do not always buy organic fruits and veggies.  The most important thing is to eat your fruits and veggies...even if they are not organic!!

Fruits and vegetables with the highest pesticide exposure are peaches, apples, strawberries, nectarines, pears, cherries, red raspberries, imported grapes, spinach, bell peppers, celery, potatoes, and hot peppers.  I recommend that you either carefully wash and peel these fruits and vegetable before eating or that you consider buying organically grown varieties.

Organic or Not...Eat your greens!!
