Hello! While I’m off exploring the great Pacific Ocean I wanted to share a super easy and delicious recipe I threw together last week. It’s great for Meatless Monday or if you’re not into labels – it’s just a really good and easy lunch or dinner dish. This one pot dish only requires 4 ingredients and is vegan, gluten free and most importantly, tasty!
4 Ingredient Creamy Quinoa Recipe
Vegan / Gluten free / Delicious
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of quinoa cooked (1 cup raw cooked according to package)
- 1 can garbanzo beans, rinsed
- 1/2 package frozen peas (heads up – canned peas have added sugar)
- 8oz hummus (I used most of a 10oz Sabra hummus container)
Directions: Cook quinoa according to package directions. Mix all ingredients together. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
*Note: the scientific measurement of the ‘half a pack of frozen peas’ is because I ate the other half the day before when I got a random craving.
And some healthy eating advice…
Question: What are you having for dinner tonight?
Me: Hopefully some seafood on the cruise! And then epic dessert!!

sally @ sweat out the small stuff says
this is really healthy. I’d have to have an epic dessert after a healthy meal like this. =) By the way dessert on cruises is calorie free. It’s like birthday cake and every other Monday too. =)
