Week Night Dinner - Greek Quinoa Bowl

QUICK & EASY WEEK NIGHT DINNER - Greek Quinoa Bowl

This meal kept getting pushed out of the rotation every week, I just was not excited about it. I thought it was going to be bland and boring. I finally bit the bullet and forced myself to make it. I was so pleasantly surprise. Never underestimate simple ingredients creating delicious combinations.
