Organic quinoa and veggies

Props goes out to my big sis for this simple, quick, healthy, use-what-you-have recipe! Thanks, Jen!

Ingredients:
- quinoa
- oil
- balsamic vinegar
- veggies
- canned beans
- nuts (optional)
- cheese (optional)

1. Make quinoa according to box directions.

2. In a separate pan, sauté veggies and beans in oil (I prefer coconut or olive but whatever you have is fine). Add some balsamic vinegar and salt to taste.

3. While you wait on the veggies **and quinoa, toast your favorite nuts (the G rated/food kind) I have used walnuts, almonds, and pecans in the past.
** use whatever veggies you have, be creative! In this photo I used garlic, onion, green onion, red pepper, brussel sprouts (really), squash, tomatoes, and carrots.

4. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and sprinkle on cheese (a strong one for flavor like feta or blue). Avocado might be good to add at the end too!

5. Pour a glass of vino and enjoy!
