I have a new entree idea for you. Roasted Vegetables with Quinoa. This recipe is super healthy and easy + you can really use any veggies you have on hand.
Perfect for those times you have odds and ends in the fridge to use up. For more healthy recipes, check out this post about Healthy Slow Cooker Recipes or this post on Healthy Veggie Burger Recipes.
This meal is vegan and gluten free. Like I said before, any veggies work. The veggies I chose for this recipe are the ones I like best. I have also used Brussels sprouts, but I didn’t have any on hand at the time.
We filmed a short video for this recipe. You can view it below. For more video updates, you can subscribe to my You Tube Channel.
