Dawn DebusMy friend and realtor Dawn Debus, who also takes my classes at Sobekick, recently got my book and started following the Six Weeks to Sexy Abs Meal Plan guidelines!

She wants to lose a few pounds of body fat and needed some guidance and support so of course I’m here for her. I asked her to send me any recipes she creates that fall within my vegan meal plan guidelines so I could share them on my blog. She’s like me (and probably most of you) in that she likes simple, flavorful vegan recipes that she can whip up quickly at home.  I said I didn’t mind if she didn’t have the exact amounts of each ingredients… Since the recipes are so simple, they are easy for you to customize based on what ingredients you have at home, and your individual taste.

Here’s what Dawn came up with today… I’m so proud of her!  According to her, this meal took her 10 minutes to make and is delicious!

Broccoli, Cauliflower and Lentil Bowl

Ingredients:

  • Broccoli 
  • Cauliflower
  • Canned Lentil Beans (No or Low Sodium)
  • Rosemary (Fresh if possible)
  • Dill (Fresh if possible)
  • Herbamare Seasoning
  • Red Onion

Dawn said she steamed the broccoli and cauliflower on the stove. She put lentils and red onion in a large bowl and heated them in the microwave (this would also be easy to heat in a pot on the stove if you prefer). She then added the broccoli, cauliflower, herbs and spices to the bowl of beans, mixed them together, and had herself a tasty, satisfying meal!

In case you don’t know, broccoli and cauliflower are two of the healthiest, cancer-fighting, anti-inflammatory foods on the planet and lentils are packed with protein and fiber among other nutrients. You can definitely fill your belly with this dish knowing your doing your body good!
