Teriyaki Mango Pork or Tofu

(adapted from Clean Eating and EatingWell)

• 1 pork tenderloin (2 loins), trimmed and diced into small cubes
• 1 white onion, diced
• 3 T. minced garlic
• 3 T. EVOO
• 2 T. lite soy sauce
• 3 T. teriyaki sauce
• 1 tsp. crushed red pepper
• 1 T. crushed ginger
• 1 tsp. sesame oil
• 4 cups of bok choy, sliced thin
• 2 cups of diced mango
• 2 cans of water chestnuts (you could use 1, but we like them!)
• rice noodles or rice
• tofu (for making some vegetarian) diced

1. In a large pan, cook pork cubes with 2 T. EVOO, soy sauce, and 2 T. garlic until the pork is cooked through.
2. In a separate pan (if you are making some without pork to add to tofu), simmer onion, with 1 T. EVOO and a splash of water until soft.
3. Add teriyaki sauce, sesame oil, ginger, red pepper, 1 T. garlic and sliced bok choy.
4. Stir and add diced mago and water chestnuts.
5. Cook for about 2 minutes until bok choy wilts but does not soften completely.
6. Add mango/bok choy mixture to some pork and some tofu – depending on who you are serving.
7. Serve over rice noodles or rice and with a glass of Merlot

I made a batch of banana oatmeal and added some semi-thawed mango chunks. Then I tossed on some ground flax and unsweetened coconut.   

It was amazing!

Go try it…now!

After school, I was tired but decided to go to the gym for another workout.  I have been slacking lately and had time to do some weights this afternoon.

PM Workout

30 min. of stair stepper while reading my book club book Water for Elephants

Upper body weights – 30 min.

I was excited for dinner when I got home.  We have planned our menu for the week and it was taco night.  I was sick of chicken lately, so I decided to try some vegetarian taco filling.  I have had the nature burger and the veg. chili made by fantastic foods, so I figured this would be pretty good!

It is very easy to make, just add water ( I omitted the oil it called for), and microwave!  When it came out it looked a lot more like meat than I thought (I think I may be able to pass it off as ground beef in a taco for Brady, I’ll have to try next time .

My Huge Delicious Taco Salad:

• iceberg lettuce
• tomato
• grilled onions
• corn cut off the cob
• black beans
• avacado
• fake taco meat

And on to dessert:  A Greek yogurt parfait with All Bran, peaches, and mango.
