Veggie Quinoa Fried 'Rice"
Tonight was a fun creation for dinner. I needed to whip something together really quick to bring to Jack's moms for dinner for myself since unfortunately I was unable to indulge in her dinner due to the meat.
I am a lover of different asian foods so I love creating new dishes. This was was a success and now I have 4 days of meal prep done for the week.
