I’m a huge quinoa fan and given the chance I would eat it everyday! I’m lucky that H also loves it, so I make it often. Sometimes served as a meal, like this roasted pumpkin quinoa salad could be, and other times I will just season it and have it as an accompaniment to another…

Spiced Peach Quinoa Porridge
