I did it. I finally did it.

I bought a box of quinoa months ago. I was afraid of that box. I didn’t know how I was going to make a dish using quinoa. I have never cooked quinoa nor have I ever tasted it. Until today.

I was driving home from work, stuck in commuter traffic wondering what I was going to make for dinner.

Oh, I wing dinner almost every night. but tonight, I figured here is my chance to make something the hubby doesn’t like (he’s out-of-town) on a business trip.

That’s when I remembered I had that box of quinoa. Seriously, just a few ingredients and viola’ an instant incredible side dish was born.

Now I want to you come back tomorrow to see what I served right on top.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.
