Happy Saturday, My Lovelies!

Vegetable Quinoa with Cashews

Ingredients:
1 cup uncooked quinoa, rinsed
1 red bell pepper, diced
15 oz. can reduced sodium vegetable broth
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1 carrot, sliced
1/4/ cup chopped cashews
6 scallions, diced

Procedure:
1.   Rinse quinoa thoroughly under cold water.  Bring quinoa and broth to a boil in a sauce pan; cover and simmer on low for 15 minutes or until broth is absorbed.
2.   Meanwhile, sauté carrots for one minute in a large frying pan sprayed with cooking spray.  Add remaining vegetables, season with a little salt and pepper and cook for another five minutes or until vegetables are tender.
3.   Mix quinoa and vegetable mixture and add cashews before serving.

Makes six 1 cup servings.

I also added 1 cup steamed broccoli and 1/2 cup pineapple.  The calories for the meal:  296!

Tonight we're having homemade pizza while we watch the Alabama v. Kentucky football game.

What are you doing this weekend?

  1. I just printed this out. Quinoa is my new favorite. I posted today about Cedar Lane quinoa tabouli at Costco but love what you've done with this healthy grain so will try it right away.

    I like your addition of some fresh pineapple--a good inflammatory!

  2. That looks delicious, and it's gluten-free. One of us can't have gluten.
