Spinach Parmesan Quinoa is a healthy side dish that's delicious served with shrimp, chicken, beef or pork. It's also delicious on its own as a vegetarian main dish.

Once you have experienced homemade broth it's so difficult to go back. It's hard to believe that I once thought a teaspoon of flavour mix added to a cup of boiling water was even a thing. All that salt? Don't get me started!
What's happened now is I'm not buying chicken any more. Well not enough to support my broth habit. I looked at the rice yesterday and considered, water?
"No. I just can't."
"Buy a chicken?"
That seems foolhardy to say the least.
Then it hit me!
