Day 1: TuNO Fish Wraps with Israel Quinoa Salad and Raise the Roof Sweet Potato Lasagna

Here is what's on the menu for DAY 1:

Breakfast: For the next 10 days I will either eat oatmeal with fruit, a little maple syrup sprinkled with cinnamon or Ezekiel bread with apple butter. 

Lunch: I made TuNo Fish Wraps in Ezekiel tortillas. The recipe can be found here. I also paired it with Israel Quinoa Salad from Forks Over Knives The Cookbook. 

Ingredients:

1/2 cup quinoa

1/4 tsp. ground cumin

1/4 tsp. turmeric

1 cup finely chopped tomatoes (from 1-2 medium tomatoes)

1 inely chopped medium cucumber (from about 1 medium cucumber)

1 finely red bell pepper (you can roast it if you want, I did not)

1 tbsp. finely chopped basil

Juice of 1 lemon

Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Rinse the quinoa under cold water and drain. Bring 1 1/4 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Add the quinoa, cumin, and turmeric, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed, stirring occasionally. Remove the pan from the heat, fluff the quinoa with a fork, and allow it to cool for 5 minutes.

2. While the quinoa cools, combine the tomato, cucumber, red pepper, basil, and lemon juice in a medium bowl. Stir in the cooled quinoa and season with salt and pepper. Yum!

Dinner: For dinner I am making the Raise the Roof Sweet Potato Lasagna from Engine 2 Diet by Rip Esselstyn. Recipe can be found here. I substituted the beans for a block of tofu though.
