Heat a cast iron pan and put in about a tbsp of organic extra virgin coconut oil, or other high heat oil of choice. Throw veggies in pan and fry on medium high. When veggies start to soften (5 to 10 minutes, depending how you like them), throw in a half cup or so of cooked quinoa (I like to have leftover quinoa in the fridge!). Add a tsp of minced garlic, one twist of sea salt, two twists of pepper and a couple tbsp of Franks Red Hot Sauce. Transfer to a bowl. I topped this with some chia seeds and some spicy roasted pumpkin seeds. Any nuts or seeds would make good toppings. I meant to add some pineapple today too, but forgot. Will have to try that another time. A quick, yummy, and nutritious lunch!
This is a place for me to keep notes while cooking and baking in the kitchen, often adapting or creating recipes to be dairy and wheat-free. It's also a place for my ramblings about playing and learning with my kids and my efforts towards a greener and healthy life.
