We spent the weekend with family, where I tried out a new recipe: Fat Free Vegan's Quinoa Paella (pictured below, with my own veggie selection). This is cooked, seasoned quinoa with a variety of veggies. It was meant to serve 4-6 - which in my pan turned out to be a very, very hungry 4-6! (I guess vegans need to eat a good-sized serving to count as sufficient calories/nutrition for a meal.) The blended flavors were nice - very subtle. Would be great in a tortilla with some added spicy sausage, sour cream, and cheese (ooops...I think that just deveganized the concept).I also have
