    Quinoa Stuffed Roasted Tomatoes

    Appetizers, Salads, Sides

    Quinoa stuffed tomatoes

    Let’s take a little spin from our traditional stuffed tomatoes.  Try out our Quinoa Stuffed Roasted Tomatoes to really switch it up! 

    For all my tomato lovers out there! Tomatoes are a great source of many vitamins and minerals.  They are rich in a phytonutrient called lycopene that gives it the gorgeous color. They are also high in vitamin C and vitamin A.  The quinoa and black bean combo also offer a great source of plant based protein to help keep you satisfied throughout the whole day.

    Not only are these delicious, they are also super easy to make.  First, start by slicing off the tops of the tomatoes.  To de-seed, scoop out the pulp with a spoon for the best results.  Leave about a ½ inch of the tomato for the shell.  Once those babies are cleaned out, flip them upside down on a paper towel to drain. Here’s another pro tip: save the pulp  to make in other recipes such as vegetable stocks, salsas, or sauces.  

    In a bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, black beans, garlic, onions, lime juice, olive oil, salt and pepper and mix together.  Once it is thoroughly mixed, scoop the ingredients into the tomatoes.  Make sure you really pack it in there! Bake the entire thing in a lightly oiled pan at 350F for about 30 minutes.  Let the stuffed tomatoes cool for 5-10 minutes and top with parmesan.

    For some extra kick, toss in your favorite herbs.  I love some cilantro in a dish like this! But you can use anything that you have on hand.  Some fresh parsley, basil, anything you have! What are some of your favorite herbs?  Let us know what you think in the comments below!

    Last month when I asked who you wanted us to inter Last month when I asked who you wanted us to interview for our habits series, 90% of you said Gretchen Rubin. Today your wish comes true. For those not familiar with @gretchenrubin, she is one of today’s most influential and thought-provoking observers of happiness and human nature, especially as it pertains to habits. Gretchen is the author of Better than Before, The 4 Tendencies and The Happiness Project and in this episode she shares the secret to creating health promoting habits that will work for you. ALSO: I want to also acknowledge that regardless of your tendency, forming new habits may be more challenging for people with ADHD or for neurodivergent folks, and these tendencies may not be one-size-fits-all.

    LIFE UPDATE: I purchased a home in the Hudson Vall LIFE UPDATE: I purchased a home in the Hudson Valley with 5 acres of land! (Even typing that makes me anxious lolol) All reno updates will be on @bohiohomes. I’ve been wanting a home close by to retreat into nature and considered a few locations but honestly, the racial tension and lack of diversity upstate gave me mixed feelings. I actually went to school in New Paltz (and love it SO MUCH) so I’m not sure why I didn’t consider buying here sooner. I took a trip this summer to go apple picking and was like wait, New Paltz is perfect! It’s welcoming, diverse (thanks to all the city kids and professors) and there’s so many fun things to do!! It’s also just 90 minutes away from the city. 

I’ve officially moved in and will be renovating this a-frame beauty built in the early 70’s. There is SO much work to do. The home has solid bones but needs major updates and I have to condition the land. We even have a cute pond! Very scary and very exciting. Eventually, I may open it up for retreats or for people who want to disconnect from the NYC chaos. For now, it’ll be home. Follow along for renovation updates on @bohiohomes 💕💕
    THIS ONE SIMPLE HABIT TIP CHANGED MY LIFE. What’ THIS ONE SIMPLE HABIT TIP CHANGED MY LIFE. What’s one thing you already do that you can build a habit around?! 

Ps have you been listening to our habits series
