Quinoa Pilaf
I just was mentioning this recipe to a friend, but when I went to go search my blog I couldn't find it. I must never have gotten it into the old blog archives, so here it is!
Quinoa is gluten free and one of the grains I was hoping to reintroduce to my diet after my recent Whole30 with no grains. I haven't made this in ages, but I have been sampling the Quinoa pastas and have been happy to have no adverse affects.
Enjoy!
