Eat Your Vegetables!





So, I'm always looking for new recipes to try. I recently had been seeing this thing called Quinoa. I had never tried it, but it's supposed to be really good for you & high in protein. I personally like grainy things like it, like really nutty brown rice. So I bought a bag of this Quinoa at Vitamin Cottage and then was searching for recipes. I came across this: Delicious Big Bowl Quinoa Recipe. The picture was just so enticing to me, I just had to try it. So today I made it. I happen to have sweet potatoes on hand so I decided to use one of those instead of a regular potato because they're healthier (& I have to put a bathing suit on soon) and I think they're YUMMY.


So I am happy to report that it was DeLicioUs & NuTritiOus and filling too! I would definitely recommend it, if you're brave enough to try something new, and if you don't mind a meatless meal. :)

Hi! I'm responding to your comment on my blog: http://gordostyle.blogspot.com/2009/03/favorites-friday.html

I'll try and make some checkbook covers after Easter and get them in my etsy shop. Thanks for the compliments! It was so much fun to make!

Hope you have a great Easter!

I am glad to hear about this! I am always looking for new options for cooking healthy and I have been slightly intimidated by that ingredient (can't remember how in the heck to spell it!). Now I will have to give it a try, thanks!

I've never heard of this meal, but it sounds pretty good and look even better.
