Indeed this was by far one of my favorite combos! It sustained me until lunch time a little past noon. This protein powder is probably the first powder that has not hurt my tummy as other products. It satisfies and refreshes me after a great work out.
When lunch time came around, I knew it was burrito wednesday for me, so I decided to mix up the following ingredient together:

The results? A delicious, filling and healthy meal that continued to fill the protein craving. I thank God for being able to use the food I have at home to make sustainable meals without spending wads of money! Who is with me?
After lunch, Ryan came home ready to take a nap to replenish the lack of sleep the previous night. I quickly planned a healthy meal since it was Wednesday and one of Ryan's rehearsal evenings. I decided that we had not had pasta in a while so I created a recipe on a whim.
Ryan asked me how I know certain flavors will combine. I tell him I imagine the flavors on their own and imagine them being together, hoping that I was right. I love doing that! I guess that is the chemist in me. When I took organic and inorganic chemistry in college, I loved mixing chemicals in lab. It is ingrained in me and perhaps a reason I still love working in pharmaceuticals.
Thus is my inspiration for last night's meal. Pasta, sun-dried tomatoes, and edamame called out to me and begged to be made into a meal. The results were very delicious. The edamame was pureed with olive oil until they were combined. Once this mixture was mixed into hot pasta, the consistency was ALMOST like parmesan cheese. NO kidding, because Ryan agreed with me. The only thing I did for his meal, was season a chicken breast, and cut it into cubes to be mixed in the pasta dish. This meal took me 30 minutes, y'all! Enjoy this recipe!
