Is quinoa still “cool”? Or am I like, a year late to this whole quinoa craze? I haven’t been a fan for so long, but I’ve slowly come around to sorta totally love this pseudo-grain ( this dreamy recipe made me a total believer of the power of quinoa). Mark and I roast broccoli pretty much on the daily (is anyone saying that anymore?), so I never ever pass up an opportunity to toss some in the oven! In my opinion, roasting is the best possible way you could treat a veggie, and roasted broccoli is pretty much the king of the whole veg-roasting business. It all starts off with the roasted broccoli. Let me start out by saying that this recipe is the real freakin’ deal. I have seriously found my new favorite everything in this Roasted Broccoli Quinoa Salad! It’s a crowd-pleaser for everyone – my not-so-keen-on-quinoa brother even loves it! We’ve made large batches for parties, smaller batches for holidays with the fam, and giant batches for…well, me to take back to my apartment ?Īnd because I’m me and I can’t leave a recipe alone, I’ve made some changes that make an already great recipe… even greater. My version is so quick and easy, and it’s a 30-minute meal that’ll leave you totally satisfied…with leftovers to spare for tomorrow’s work lunch! It’s one of those throw-everything-into-a-bowl-and-call-it-one-of-the-most-delicious-meals-you’ve-ever-had type of dishes, so it’s simple enough to have in your back pocket for any busy weeknight. Man, oh man. Now it’s a constant request whenever I’m invited pretty much anywhere.Īnd when I go to my parents’ house, there’s one dish I will always ask for: Cookie and Kate’s Quinoa Broccoli Slaw. I make the recipe from her first cookbook for my brother’s graduation party and everyone flipped. We made it for his family, I made it for my parents – it’s seriously so much yum.Īnd I can’t go to a party without bringing brownies from Sally at Sally’s Baking Addiction. Just a few months ago, we were having this quick and easy dinner at least twice a week. Here at home, Mark and I freakin’ love my Thai Peanut Burrito Bowls. Like ones that, if you show up to a party without it, then you’ll definitely hear about it? Ones that are your absolute go-to when you need a recipe you know you can count on?

The big salad oh she glows
