Quick and Easy Meal of the Week


It's Friday!! We've made it to the weekend :)
Quick recap... this week was mostly successful, I can say with pride that I did very well with portion control and types of food I ate this week without depriving myself the joy of great tasting foods. I managed to keep my 5 weekly workout session goal and I noticeably have increased energy this week. Win-Win-Win!
This weeks family favorite meal was the Shrimp & Vegetable w/ Brown Rice. The kiddos enjoyed it so much we had it twice this week. It also maintains very well as leftovers for next day lunches (extra bonus). Here's what I did...
1. Boil 1/2 water w/ 1/2 portions of beef/chicken/vegetable broth of your choice
2. Add brown rice and earth balance butter substitute
3. Dice bell peppers, onions and mushrooms then saute'
4. Pan simmer frozen (tail off) shrimp in pan of earth balance butter substitute or coconut oil it's great with either. 
5. Add garlic powder,parsley and salt and pepper to taste
6. Layer and consume
***cooking time on brown rice is longer that white rice so test and stir frequently***
My family loves veggies so I also heated and seasoned a bag of frozen broccoli w/ Mrs. Dash for my troop.

It's hard for me to understand the fact that mental illness is still a taboo thing. I personally don't understand why it's not a more discussed topic, why there aren't enough resources and access to treatment. Here in the US we have option after option for physical healthcare. If you don't like a physician for whatever reason all you have to do is walk across the hall or drive across the street and there are at least 10 more for the choosing. Why aren't there just as many easy options for mental healthcare treatment?  These day there is a checklist for "warning signs" for every ailment out there and I want to be sure that depression warning signs are top of mind...
