Brain-Dead Food: Curry Rice & Spinach Recipe
Recipe Ingredients
1 box near east curry rice
1 box frozen spinach
1 can black beans
1 can diced tomatoes (slightly
1 drained)
Recipe Preparation
I might have posted this before, but one of my favorite brain-dead
foods (outside of spaghetti), is to take one box of Near-East Curry
Rice and cook according to directions, without the added fat. While
that is cooking, microwave 1 frozen block of spinach (for some reason
fresh spinach doesn't taste as good to me in this recipe -- and takes
longer unless already de-stemmed and washed). When that is done,
drain and set aside. Nuke 1 can of black beans, drained and rinsed,
and 1 can of diced tomatoes (minus some of the juice), mixed together
(generally for about 3 minutes).
When rice is done, mix spinach, rice, beans and tomatoes (generally
in a large bowl). Snarf. Not only does it taste good, but it's
really colorful with the yellow rice, black beans, red tomatoes and
green spinach. Very satisfying. Even my almost-3-yr-old loves it.
Approximate total time: 25-30 minutes (time to cook rice)

Some lower carbohydrate diet guidlines:
* Eat regular meals Most low carb recipes are, you won't be surpised to learn, low in carbohydrates. Your body needs energy, and carbs are a highly efficient source of energy. A lower carbohydrate diet requires more care in monitoring you energy intake, as the energy provided by fat or protein is less efficient.
* Food labels can be misleading Watch out for food packaging that boasts to be 'low carb' - check the nutritional information on the back of the package. Many are only a little decreased and in some instances still greater than a competitors usual brand. Also, beware of 'low sugar' and 'low fat' labels - 'low sugar' doesn't always mean 'low carb' - usually the carbs are the same.
