Source of recipe: This is my favorite way to make/eat quinoa. I've never really been much for following a recipe without making a bunch of changes,and like a lot of flavor so here is an approximation of what I generally add in.
SO HOW'D IT GO?
I liked this. I doubled the recipe and left out the spinach/kale. When it was done I put a little hot sauce on it and some sliced avocados! VERY good! Thanks.
