Green and Proteiny

My dinner tonight is a Veggie and Quinoa Stir Fry...completely delicious, and for those of you Weight Watchers enthusiasts, it's only 5 points for that whole dish!

Ingredients:
  • 1/4 cup Quinoa
  • 1/3 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 large green bell pepper, diced
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • 1/2 cup frozen green beans
  • 1/2 cup frozen chopped spinach
  • 2 tsp. minced garlic
  • 1 cup low sodium vegetable broth
  • Spices to taste - garlic powder, paprika, black pepper

Spray the bottom of a large pan with cooking spray.  Add garlic, onion, and green bell pepper and saute over medium heat for 7-8 minutes.  Add all other vegetables and continue to saute another 5-6 minutes.  Add vegetable broth and quinoa and bring to a boil.  Reduce heat and cover and let simmer for 15 minutes until all water is absorbed.

ENJOY!
