This is my new healthy addiction. My sister gave me this recipe; she makes this yummy dish with
millet but I am more familiar with
quinoa and they are both delicious!

Make quinoa with bouillon according to package directions (or see below). Top with everything else. Get creative and add anything you like! I added salmon last week and it was awesome!
*First of all, quinoa is
so good for you. Some brands of quinoa recommend rinsing the dry grains before cooking and some do not. I am
always sorry when I do not rinse. It tastes different, like dirt. Rinse those grains in a fine mesh strainer!
When making quinoa, I like to use a 1-2-3 method. Just the right texture, just the right flavor! Boil the quinoa
covered. I boil a
lot longer than the recommended 15 minutes, until fluffy and soft. I don't like my quinoa crunchy, but that's just me.
1 cup dry quinoa
2 tsp chicken bouillon

1-2-3!
