    Our family loves quinoa. I have photographic evidence of my 18-month-old trying to lick his bowl clean…a bowl that was filled with one of our favorite quinoa meals. I love that it’s filled with protein, that it’s gluten free and that you always leave the dinner table satisfied.

    This dish is a perfect weeknight meal, great as a main or side dish for company, as well as a great complement to any weekend fare. Versatility is the name of the game with this delicious mushroom dish! As the holidays start to approach and the days become hectic I love having this simple, healthy and delicious meal on hand that I know my family will love.

    I have a little problem. I cannot make a meal that costs more than $5. It’s unnatural, but my pocketbook thanks me.
