As I was promising you Theresa, I have come back faster than I thought. I was looking for something new to cook for dinner, and since last time I was here I got a nice recipe, here I guess I have found it. I will let you know tomorrow what are my family’s thoughts.

Colorful and healthy. Thank you!
It’s always great when you can combine a whole bunch of different vegetables together into something different, and the quinoa adds a protein punch.
