Quinoa Salad, It’s a Meal

By on April 11, 2009

As you can see my menu can shift ingredients when needed.  I didn’t have the peppers needed for my intended side dish but I was very happy with what I came up with.  The great part about the lavender chicken is, it was already cooked.  I had made extra last month and stored them in […]
