Looks like it has been awhile since my first post about eating well at a festival, morning edition. I got caught up in various vacations but am back to the blog.
In my last post I forgot to mention fruit for breakfast. A healthy part of a usually not very healthful weekend. I recommend cut up watermelon for breakfast delicious and refreshing. If you have even a whiff of a hangover some juicy, cold watermelon is just the thing. Other good options are grapes and cherries.
On to lunch/dinner and snacks. Again the ideal is prepared items. You don't want to be setting up a cookstove and dealing with multiple ingredients. You need to be able to reach in to your cooler and pull out something tasty and ready to go. A good option is the prepared salad, not a green salad but a brown rice salad packed full of beans and veggies or a yummy sesame noodle salad. If you include vegetables you will want to avoid ingredients that spoil easily; think avocado or tomatoes, and choose longer lasting vegetables such as green pepper or corn.
Sesame Noodle Salad
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
4 cloves garlic minced
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
3 tablespoons sesame oil
1/2 tsp hot chili oil
4 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons hot water
12 oz noodles
4 green onions sliced thinly
While water boils for noodles, combine all ingredients except noodles and green onion in a bowl and whisk together.
Pour sauce over cooked warm noodles and toss to coat, add green onions and toss again.
Chill and serve.
