Lately, I have really been on a quinoa kick. It’s a great side dish and green salad topper and I like to enjoy it hot or cold. Did you know that quinoa is not a grain, but rather a seed? I like to make it in big batches and use throughout the week. One amazing use for quinoa is to make a salad out of it!
