FitBitch girls share...

It's great to see so many FBitches beginning to really love the exercise but also get into eating healthily too. Here's a pic from Kate S who kindly shared a shot of her lunch (quinoa wld be better but still brill) and another fab recipe from Gilly.

Gilly's Butternut squash chilli with quinoa
(serves 4)
Ingredients:
1 large onion - finely chopped
2 garlic cloves - crushed
1 tbsp chilli powder
1 kg peeled/cubed butternut squash (you can get frozen in Waitrose- easier!)
100gr quinoa - soaked in cold water for 10 mins
2x400gr tins chopped tomatoes
400gr tin kidney beans
Handful coriander

Instructions:
Cook the onion & garlic in a small amount of stock until soft.
Add the chilli powder and cook for a further minute.
Then add the squash, quinoa and tomatoes.
Simmer for 10-15 mins until the squash and quinoa are tender and the sauce has thickened.
Add the beans and heat through.
Stir in the coriander and serve.

Any leftovers are nice for lunch the next day - hot or cold.
