Who says cooking has to be difficult?

This is one of my favorite things to make because it is so EASY!

• Cook 1-2 cups quinoa (could use brown rice or millet instead) according to package instructions (you will have extra)

• Chop and rinse

• 1/2 head of broccoli

• 2-3 carrots

• 1/2 purple onion

• 1 cup chickpeas

• 1/2 cup corn

• 1/4 cup hemp seeds

• 1 tablespoon of olive oil

• garlic to taste

• salt and pepper to taste

• Add meat if you desire

Cook the quinoa first. If you’re using raw veggies, finely chop them and toss them with the quinoa while it is still hot. This cooks them a bit, but you will not lose the nutrients. Then add the olive oil and seasonings.

When I make this with 1 cup of quinoa, it usually makes about 4 servings (so I box it up and take it for easy on the go lunches or dinners).
