Quinoa mania.

So, quinoa freaked me out. I couldn't bring myself to eat a grain that I thought was pronounced "Queen OH wahh" for so long. Like some japanese chopping motion.

Also people raved about the fiber content and things and I immediately was like " more gas? Not something I need in my life! "


But I took a step, and now I love it. It helps me feel full, without feeling bloated/ weighed down.

Today I added it to my salad.

Spinach, quinoa, chicken, apple, almond, cranberry salad with Newman's olive oil and vinegar

Result- amazing. I feel full and there was lots of color which always makes me feel healthier. ( unless it involves sprinkles or a push pop. )
