This bowl is just perfect on nights you can't decide what you want to eat. Or when you have tons of random food in your pantry and haven't been grocery shopping in a while... 

Although it looks complex, you can work on one thing at a time and it will all come together at the end. 

This is one of those dishes I love to pack up the leftovers and take to work for lunch the next days. The flavors all mesh together overnight and the bowl is even better the second day.

Plus, this bowl is packed with colors, nutrients, and love. I think you'll enjoy it!

Oh, quinoa. The elusive grain that people struggle with pronouncing it, let alone cooking it. Despite these challenges, I'm here to tell you that, in fact, it is not difficult to make at all!

However, once you soak them, the enzymes become activated, which makes them a lot more easily digested. For this quinoa, I try to soak the grains for 30 minutes or so before I cook them, but if you don't have time for that, even rinsing them in a metal sieve or nut milk bag can help!

Since eating them this way, I've noticed a HUGE increase in their digestibility. If you do too, I'd love to hear :)

Perfect Quinoa Recipe
20 minutes + soaking time | serves 2-3

Ingredients

• 1 c quinoa
• 1 1/2 c filtered water

Directions

1. Pre-soak the quinoa in water for 10-30 minutes. If you are in a rush, you can rinse them until the water runs clear. 
2. In a small sauce pot, bring your water to a boil. 
3. Add the quinoa and cover with a lid. Put the heat on low, so the quinoa is simmering. Set a timer for 15 minutes.
4. When the the timer rings, turn the heat off. Leave the pot on the burner with the lid on. Set a timer for 5 minutes. 
5. Once the timer rings, fluff your quinoa with a fork and enjoy!
