Leftovers + stuff in the freezer = a quickie

This week has been nuts.  I have no time for dilly-dallying.  None at all.  To top off this hectic week & day, I forgot to eat breakfast.  Doh!  I was so busy taking care of everyone else before leaving the house this morning, I seemed to let myself slip through the cracks.  A quick lunch was a must, and it turned out to be a keeper!  I'll for sure repeat this one another day.  It cost me 9 WWPs total, but that's not bad considering what you see below is a giant pasta / soup bowl full of delish food. Since I missed breakfast, I could afford it. Not sure what quinoa is?  Click here for more info.

{leftover quinoa, frozen veggies, grilled shrimp, 9 WWP}

I made a double batch of quinoa this week because I knew it would be a nutty week to say the least.  Having ready made things on hand keeps me from reaching for my old flame, Taco Bell.  (Shhhhh...don't tell my husband!)

{precooked quinoa (1 minute to reheat in microwave)}

OK.  So...I have some quinoa already cooked.  Now what?  To the freezer I go. To my quinoa I'll add....

{some low cal frozen veggies (4 min to cook in microwave)}

{and some grilled shrimp (13 min cook time in a skillet)}

The entire meal took 13 minutes to make.  I loaded the dish washer, switched laundry in the machines, & folded a load while I waited.  No time was wasted because I don't have time for that today.  After lunch was finished, out the door I went again.  Then back home for a conference call. Then back out the door again.  I'm tired!

Anyway, this quickie was a nice little bit of homemade mixed with premade.  Don't even get me started on how cheap all of this was to make thanks to my coupons! lol
