quinoa is the new bacon
March 20, 2012
Lately, I can’t get enough quinoa. For whatever reason, around dinner time, I find myself reaching for this yummy, little “grain” and making a meal out of it. It’s so easy and so good for you. {bonus!}
Recently, my go-tos have been quinoa fritters and a cheesy, roasted veggie quinoa bowl.
First up, the fritters. I’ve made these puppies several times and they keep getting better and better.
On this particular night, I put them on a bed of arugula with roasted chickpeas and a homemade greek yogurt aioli sauce.

Next up, the veggie quinoa bowl. I saw this recipe and thought, what a great idea! Cook up some quinoa and throw in whatever you might have in your fridge. Oddly enough, I had several of the ingredients already listed on the recipe. I roasted brussel sprouts and fingerling potatoes, toasted some pine nuts and wilted a handful of arugula. Mix it together, throw in some cheese and you have yourself a very delicious and filling meal! I can’t wait to throw some grilled veggies on it and give it a summer spin.
