This week we came up with the Quinoa Greek Salad while on a walk through the neighborhood.
It was a very beautiful Seattle Sunday. We are talking shorts, and t-shirt in the morning, beautiful day.
Basically we were just doing a meal prep brainstorm session.
I wanted to stick with a non-red mead meal (due to my InsideTracker blood testing), and Quinoa is a food that I’m supposed to eat more of.
So… Quinoa, chicken, feta, and a bunch of other veggies = meal prep deliciousness!
