Chicken, beef or fish; steamed, baked, roasted, grilled or sautéed with a cacophony of herbs and spices – check. It’s always that pesky potato or grain to serve it with that’s my oft-forgotten downfall! Enter 10-Minute Garlic and Herb Mushroom Quinoa https://bit.ly/2kk6AkJ to save the day. Great as a quick veggie meal on its own, too! #quinoa #protein #grain #herbs #sidedish
