NY Strip, Brown Rice with Veggies and a Tomato Cucumber Balsamic Salad

I was going to wait till next week to join in on the Tasty Tuesday as I had no idea what I could do… with out really preparing for it.

But, as I was preparing lunch I realized it was not much of a recipe but it may help someone on the run to make lunch/dinner in a quickie and with market specials.

Items used

I love my George Forman little grill…. I do everything from my turkey burgers, to steak… It works like a charm. Though I may admit “I hate cleaning it” as I want to wash with water and soap.

 

Grill Steak till the cooking consistency you like your meat.  Chicken if you prefer -

Open your pack of Lipton veggie mix and mix with your rice. Cook rice as you would normally but just add the pack to the water and stir. Simmer on Low-Medium heat as Brown rice cooks a little longer than white rice. I use these packages when I am in a hurry or when I really have no frozen or canned veggies. This is also a great trick for picky eaters!!! shshshs don’t tell them.

Rice simmering – Does she not look yummy?

1 Tomato and 1 Cucumber, cut peel and plate.

Add olive oil, salt, pepper and Balsamic vinegar.

This is the best part plate and eat your yummy yummy inexpensive lunch! ENJOY
