Clean(er) Eating: Quinoa and Black Beans

Yesterday was my first attempt at cooking (and eating) quinoa.  I was a bit nervous.  My OA sponsor eats quinoa and thinks it's best prepared in a rice cooker.  Great! I have challenges cooking rice and I gave away my rice cooker when I moved last year.  Anyhow, I boiled some water and hope for the best. 

It was fantastic! I adapted a recipe I found on CookingQuinoa. I’m so glad I omitted the jalapenos. The chili powder gave it just enough kick for me. This is differently a keeper!

Stay tuned for next week's recipe.
