Lunch at Work

Lunch is a sticky subject.
If you sit at a desk all day long like me, you never want to eat too much or else you'll crash halfway through.
And you never want to eat too little otherwise you'll zero in on other people's snacks and junk food the rest of the day.

Below is an all-time favorite:

SW Fiesta Plate (Without the Calories) 


Ingredients:
-black beans
-fresh yellow or white corn
-tomatoes
-avocado
-broccoli

If you're macrobiotic like me, you'll opt for the package of black beans that you'd need to manually cook overnight. In that case, follow cooking directions on the package provided. 
If not, then empty one can of black beans into a pot and simmer.
Boil corn, covered, in another pot. Again, do not overcook. Corn tastes much sweeter and maintains its crisp when it's not overcooked. Boil for only 3-4 minutes.
Combine black beans, cut corn, diced tomatoes, broccoli, and avocado chunks on a plate. Dip, mix at will or eat a la carte.
Good hot or cold.

This dish is low in calorie, very filling, and quite nutritious. Great for sustaining energy throughout your day.

Eat well.
