Quinoa and Spinach Bowl

Last Friday of Lent and I could not think of what to eat that did not contain meat. Eventually, I decided to try out this simple recipe that was inspired by a recipe I found on Pinterest which can be found here. As usual though, I didn't exactly follow the recipe (I didn't have enough quinoa!!) Anyway, here is the final result:

Here is what I did:
Cooked two boxes of a Quinoa and brown rice blend according to the directions on the box
Added 2 bags of baby spinach
4 tablespoons of basil pesto (I bought some pre-made but making your own is always a plus)
2 tablespoons of grated parmesan cheese

That's it! I started with the quinoa/brown rice blend and once that was cooked, I lowered the temperature on the stove and added the spinach, pesto, and cheese. It was pretty tasty and simple, I would suggest it to someone looking to try something new!

On the side, I had some tomato and mozzarella salad--which is even easier! I chopped up a tomato and half a block of mozzarella, mixed together some balsamic vinaigrette, ground pepper, and olive oil. My favorite!
