I watched a documentary called “Food Choices” a few weeks ago on Netflix (go watch it if you can!!) and ever since then, I’ve increased our “Meatless Mondays” into Wednesdays and Fridays too. Which basically means I need more vegetarian recipes (good ones) in my life! I wanted to share this one with you – I’ve called it “Fiesta Quinoa” and the recipe is not just meat-free, it is completely vegan. I never thought that a vegan dish could taste this good, but my goodness, it can. My meat-eating husband even enjoyed it – and he holds nothing back when it comes to giving a food/recipe opinion! We ate it for dinner and then I had it for lunch AND dinner the next day too…and perhaps even lunch the day after that if I can remember correctly..it made a big portion as you can see 😃
So let us get this fiesta fired up already!
