Guess what? I made you something that will not induce a heart attack! This recipe includes plenty of healthy ingredients including the super-hippie, and very trendy grain, quinoa. This was my first attempt at quinoa. Here’s what I took away from this experience: 1. Quinoa is very needy. a) I have to rinse it? b) […]
