Recipes - Quinoa and Black Beans Recipe

Recipe Name

Quinoa and Black Beans

Submitted by

Recipe Description

I actually eat this as a main course but I didn't want to put it down as pasta. If you haven't tried Quinoa you should. It is so good for you with 22 grams of protein in only a cup of it. It truly is the 'miracle grain'. I eat this either hot or cold. Its delicious both ways.
