I had quinoa for the first time last week. It was delicious! We’ll definitely try this one.

Hey – I tried this for dinner last night and it’s so yummy! I didn’t have a mango so I used a couple of apricots instead and I think it worked well. I’m always so happy when I can find another veggie thing that my meat eating husband will eat. Thanks for passing this along!

Yeah, I’m a big quinoa fan.

I keep a recipe binder too! It’s awesome! I make notes on all the stuff I’ve tried and have a section for those things I don’t want to make again.

Rebecca — apricots sound like a great addition!
