If you are an avid reader of Wellness Wheels, you may have picked up on a food fetish of mine; Quinoa. Quinoa is not only considered a "great grain" by me, but the Whole Grain Council also recognizes it as such! Some of the reason's behind its "fabulousness" is its complete protein status, as well as its inclusion of amino acids, omega-3s, phytonutrients and antioxidants!
Since my husband is not as Quinoa Crazed as I am, I need to be creative in how I incorporate it into our food. One recent meal that passed the taste test was an Eggplant and Pork Stir Fry. When putting together this plate, I opted for pork chops rather than pork loin and used a Chili Paste rather than sriracha. Once cooked, I paired the stir fry with cooked quinoa!
It was a GREAT meal made with a GREAT grain!
