just our day to day life
I needed something quick to make for dinner tonight to serve with some frozen haddock from Trader Joe’s that I had thawed. I considered rice but it would take 40+ minutes to cook. I realized it was a perfect night for quinoa since it only …
I made this tasty side dish last year to go with some grilled grub. Neither of us really like typical potato salad, so this was a nice substitute. The bean sprouts were a great addition for a little crunch, though I wouldn’t go out of my …
