I’ve been on a kick to try new lunch recipes that I can bring to work for lunch. I prefer pareve, but also wanted something filling and more on the healthy side (read: no pasta).
I’ve been experimenting and decided I should try to add quinoa into my diet. I really wanted to like quinoa (I’ve never been a huge fan) so I decided that if I mix it with sweet potatoes, which is one of my favorites, then the quinoa will taste better.
The result? I liked this! DH said it had an interesting taste, but I thought it was something different to add into my lunch rotation.
