Easy Quinoa and Herb Recipe!

So I absolutely LOVE quinoa!!! Before being diagnosed with Celiacs I would NEVER in a million years try something I couldn't pronounce, let alone something that I thought was not food! However, I am so glad I have learned to try new things because Quinoa is a MUST have in my family now. It has taken the place of rice and pasta! Plus the benefits you get from it are an added bonus!

 

Quinoa is filled with protein and if you are on the 21 Day Fix and Vegetarian then it could count as a red!

 

So what do I do with it? I do so many things with it. I add it to salads, I make salads out of it, I add it to crockpot recipes, I use it as a side, I put pasta sauce on it and use it as a pasta dish, etc. Oh and I eat it cold or hot! Its awesome!!!

 

This recipe the QUINOA and HERB can be eaten cold or hot. We eat it cold because I make it the day before for Hubbys lunch (which he LOVES this recipe too!) So its cold. However, it is great warm too.
