Fun with QUINOA

Have you heard of this South American wheat free, gluten free 'supergrain'!?  Basically it's awesome!  It contains more protein than any other grain, and provides all the essential amino acids.  It taste good and is easy to digest.  Cooks just like rice, takes about 15 mins. 

I have been putting it in my salads.  This one is organic greens, cherry tomatoes, brown cage free egg whites, red onion, cucumber, and organic inca red quinoa.  What dressing did I use?  Either an all natural balsamic vinegar, or all natural honey dijon.  (Working on making them from scratch)

Add it to chicken and veges!  I stir fried my veges (orange bell pepper, broccoli, and white onion) in a soy sauce replacement made from a coconut tree.  Its organic, low in sodium, a source of 17 amino acids(protein), vitamins, minerals, low in cals, gluten-free, and dairy free.  Raw Coconut Aminos soy-free seasoning sauce.  Score!!!
