Things are starting to change around here and it\u2019s getting kinda crazy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One.  I\u2019m eating quinoa again and<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two. I got really excited about doing laundry.  FIRST load of baby clothes, blankets, and bedding are COMPLETE!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Watch out, who know\u2019s what next.<\/p>\n\n\n

Remember when I told you I attending a wedding shower and had this\u00a0watermelon salad<\/a>? Well they also served this greek quinoa salad and liked it so much, I had seconds. That\u2019s a big deal for me, right now at least.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the most part, I\u2019ve just been eating a warm bowl of quinoa with\u00a0bragg<\/a>, salt + pepper and sometimes some diced chicken breasts. Plain and simple, but comforting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This salad is light, but flavorful. I love the flavors of greek dishes, so fresh!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s amazing. Simple, whole ingredients, can sure makes one tasty meal.<\/p>\n\n\n

This is a great salad to make in big batches, that way you\u2019re set for the week. For protein, you can add in chicken,<\/strong> tuna<\/strong> or maybe some white<\/strong> or garbanzo<\/strong> beans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your hosting a shower or a casual evening in, this is a great option to serve guests. Since many people are sensitive to dairy, I\u2019d recommend leaving the cheese on the side, that way most everyone can enjoy this salad.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n
