Southwestern Quinoa Salad

Oh, quinoa, how I love you so. As a source of complete protein, it is used as a staple in many vegetarian/vegan diets. Quinoa is quick and easy to cook, and it's incredibly versatile.

This recipe was inspired by...leftovers. I had some leftover ingredients in the fridge that I desperately needed to use up. I am not one for wasting food, especially healthy food!

Lemony Wheat Berries with Feta and Pine Nuts

Nothing beats a good, hearty grain side dish. I love grains, especially when they offer a hefty dose of fiber!

Wheat berries has a chewy texture and tastes similar to barley. I used red wheat berries in this recipe, but barley works just as well. For a gluten-free option, try using short-grain brown rice.
