Sunday night is a great opportunity to get outside of your comfort zone and try something new! Quinoa with purple cauliflower anyone?
Quinoa recipe and roasted vegetables
For the entire month of January, I will be collaborating with 5 amazing YouTube channels I recently discovered this past year that I feel really have something important to say about the way we cook, eat and enjoy food!
This week’s video features the inspiring duo The Happy Pear. Their enthusiasm is contagious and I promise you you will never feel the same way about eating vegetables! Enjoy!
