Meal Plan Monday!

I got an email last week asking me if I could break down what is in the stuff I cook.  The reader accused us of not eating "enough" fruits and veg.

 

I also received an email from someone asking why we don't eat a lot of pasta, bread, or rice.  Answer: We get most of our carbohydrates from fruits and vegetables.  We eat quinoa, which is a grain.  It's high in protein, and is a great substitute for rice in soups and stews.
