Quinoa & Mushroom Sauté
Instead of rice or potatoes as your ‘go-to’ side dish (which you should probably limit since it’s loaded with sugary starches), try quinoa. Quinoa on its own can be pretty bland, but mix it with a few key ingredients and veggies and you’ve got a deliciously savory side dish.
Quinoa & Mushroom Sauté
Mushrooms and thyme add a wonderful flavor to the quinoa, turning this into a wonderful savory side dish you are sure to enjoy.
