  • I also like to make a southwest style quinoa (cooked the same way- with sautéed onion and broth instead of water) tossed with cilantro, black beans, corn, tomato, avocado, red onion, bell pepper, lime juice, salt, pepper, cumin, chili powder. Its amazing with some marinated shrimp or chicken, too!

I know the…
