Quinoa

Hello soul family!  I experimented with a brand new ingredient today!!  It's called quinoa, and pronounced keen-wa.  It cooks like rice and has the consistency of rice too.  This beautiful little grain is gluten-free and high in protein.  I bought a little bit to try in bulk at a local co-op market, but I just saw it for sale at Wallymart too.

I cooked 1/2 cup quinoa with 1 cup water for about 15 minutes.  When it was done I stirred in some chopped fresh basil, green onion, cilantro, garlic, and squeezed in about 1 tsp of lemon juice. Oh, and added some Himalayan pink salt and a tad of pepper.  WOWEE!  It satisfied my craving for a warm meal, and was oh-so-flavorful!

Along with the quinoa mix I lightly cooked some shaved zucchini in coconut oil and created the perfect organic green salad complete with fresh avocado, tangelo slices, strawberries and vegan dressing.

I had a blast creating this meal and it tasted like PERFECTION!

I hope you can experience this amazing and nutritious meal for yourself soon, but in the meantime I'll let you experience it with your eyes.

Namasté,
