Quinoa w Asparagus

"Question. What is quinoa?" LaLa

Only the best thing ever! I asked if her and Mark had plans and I invited them for dinner.

I made the quinoa like I would rice. While that was cooking I chopped and sautéed my shallot w asparagus and thyme (1tsp) Added a little water to let the asparagus steam. Once the quinoa was ready I added everything together. I squeezed lemon and tossed in some feta.

Now...what I would do different... I would have cooked the quinoa in vegetable broth instead of water. Pokey said it tasted bland. Which I guess it did but to me the flavors were light and fresh. It was good. I try to not cook w a lot of salt so I didn't use salt so I told them if they liked salt they could add it.

I roasted eggplant (typical) and had the left over meatless crumbles and mashed black beans.

Dinner was great w great friends.

This has been a busy good week. Today was a good day a work. Came home. Went grocery shipping. Rode bikes w the kiddos. Yard work w Pokey. Busy day. Dinner I had to keep it raw and simple. I toasted some wheat bread then spread hummus all over lol. One side I used half and avocado w old bay seasoning the other side I used spinach and a tomato. This hit the spot! Idk if I was craving strawberries but these were THE best strawberries I've had in a while. The grapes were fresh too. Dinner was great. Pokey is making himself salmon. We totally made our own dinners lol.
