Not trying to turn this into a food blog but I do have to tell you about my new favorite dinner/lunch/side/whatever… Carlos Quinoa. I made this recipe up but you can basically add anything to quinoa and it will be good. [Note: “Quinoa” sounds pretentious to me so you’ll never hear me pronounce it correctly]
Here it goes: Take one cup quinoa and two cups water – add about ¼ - ½ bag of taco seasoning (I use El Paso but whatever you want). Bring it to a boil then cover it and let it simmer for about 10 minutes (or until the water is all gone). After that I added canned black beans and corn and BAM, my new favorite.
Again, add whatever you like to it – all I know is it’s tasty and super healthy! Oh, it makes a lot too!
p.s. No pictures to post as I just finished the last of it for lunch...
THAT SOUNDS AWESOME. Never thought of that. Totally going to do this. I have all of the necessary ingredients - in fact, I always do. Thanks :)
