Southwestern Quinoa Bowl
with adobo-honey sauce
We get to reuse last night's adobo-honey sauce drizzled over tonight's tasty quinoa bowl, which means dinner comes together in a flash (and is full of flavor!).
Smarts: Quinoa (and most grains) freezes well so always keep some handy in the freezer. So long as you have some veggies and a can of beans on hand, you've got dinner in the making.
