Day 56- Dinner for those without much time

After a long weekend and another hectic day of running around we needed something easy for dinner...but still somewhat nutritious and healthy.

So I decided to try a Masala simmer sauce from Trader Joe's; which is basically just an Indian tomato sauce with spices like turmeric, paprika, coriander, cumin, etc. The only ingredient that I could do without was the canola oil (which I will explain my dislike for in a future blog). We added chicken breasts to the Masala and put it on top of quinoa with a side of bok choy.

1/3 Cup has 90 calories, 5 g of fat, 11 g of carbohydrates, 9 g of sugar, and 2 g of protein.

I sautéed the bok choy in coconut oil, sea salt and black pepper.

Final product and it was delicious!
