Quinoa recipe - I am feeling the love - about my cooking!

So my last post, I am so bummed out with wearing this boot for the big part of the day. My understanding was  that I was allow to do weight training as long as I do not put impact on it - my take is no sprinting, running, jumping, jump rope, or box jumps which I have done none of those. So I am hoping I get a good clean bill of health on Monday.

This past week, I went all out and made me some baked stuffed lobster tails which is time consuming and I must say, I was pretty pleased with myself that it tasted as good as can be. I had to do a lot of modifications to it - since I cannot have dairy or gluten - so usually it is cream, bread crumbs, so I used coconut milk and gluten free bread.

Today, I wanted something simple but yet nutritional and a power house recipe. I made quinoa - Here is what I did: Mind you  - when I cook - I don't follow any recipe book or measure anything, so it is up to what you want it to taste like- I know it is a cop out but best I can do.

Quinoa Salad

- I cooked the quinoa with chicken broth  - you can use vegetable broth or just water- 1 c quinoa to 2 c liquid - medium heat - 20 mins - let it cool
- cut and diced onions, peppers, artichoke hearts, olives
- 1 can of diced tomatoes
- 1 can of black beans
- grapeseed oil
- sesame oil
- garlic
- salt
- pepper
- lemon juice
- red wine vinegar
- dash of bragg's aminos

ta da!
