I have a new love for Quinoa. It is SO healthy for you, and it is super duper yummy. You can use in place of rice in just about anything! mmm! So, when I found this recipe I was excited to try it! I would like to say I came up with it myself…but I didn’t. I discovered this recipe on pinterest (of course), and it led me to this website. So, you can go check out other recipes if you wish. Here is the recipe I used.
