My favorite recipe used to be ratatouille but it no longer fits into my diet as a main dish anymore. In an attempt to find a dish which allows me vegetables, but also has enough protein, I discovered jambalaya. I love the complete flavors, but most jambalaya is made with rice and I don't get along with rice anymore. However, there's this great grain called quinoa which doesn't expand in my stomach like rice does. But the other wonderful thing about quinoa is that it is a complete protein so, it lets me get my carb fix without overfilling me AND helps me make my protein quota.
