Some days we need something fast. I mean like super fast. Today was one of those days. I had just gotten home from work and soccer practice with two very hungry children. Flustered, I looked in my fridge and found some two-day-old leftover Pei Wei brown rice and veggies and a container of broccoli. I was so tired and was very close to just microwaving that for my kids and calling it dinner…BUT I DIDN’T! I had to will myself to make something fresh but I didn’t know what to make. I looked into my freezer and found a bag of frozen, organic non-GMO corn and then cooked up my healthy reinforcement staple of quinoa. Together, they make a pretty yummy meal for my kids. Quinoa provides an excellent mixture of carbs and protein, while the corn gives some great fiber.
