Last night I made a great dinner! I know I’m due for a kitchen catastrophe soon because I’ve been having a lot of luck lately…

I originally found the recipe at Carrots N Cake but then followed the recipe to this link. I’m beginning to think CNC and I have the same taste buds. I love everything I make from her blog!

This was a GREAT recipe for Passover. Apparently quinoa has stirred some debate this year regarding whether or not it’s kosher for passover. Here’s a article from the NYTimes about it: Is Quinoa Kosher for Passover?

Ground Turkey Quinoa Skillet

Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground Turkey
• .5 cup chopped onion
• 1 14-oz. can diced tomatoes (with juice)
• 1 4-oz. can chopped chilies - I used half of the can
• 1 cup quinoa
• 1.5 cup water
• 1.5 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 tsp. ground cumin

Process

1. Brown ground beef and onion in a large skillet
2. Rinse quinoa in sieve/colander.
3. Add tomatoes, chilies, quinoa, water and spices to ground beef mixture and simmer (uncovered) for about 25 minutes. (If water evaporates too quickly, cover pan for remainder of cooking time.)
4. Serve Mexican Ground Beef Quinoa Skillet.

I also made a side of asparagus. The asparagus went on a cookie sheet. It was drizzled with EVOO, Balsamic Vinegar, honey, S/P.

and we had a side of wine…

For dessert I had like half a lb of strawberries and honeydew drizzled with Hershey’s syrup…

Andrew and I were discussing the health benefits to honeydew. I wasn’t sure if there actually were any because it is so sugary and not very vibrant. Well I was wrong!

Today

Today I’m going to bootcamp this morning per usual. Philly pup is getting a haircut and I’ll go to Panera to do some work.

Enjoy your day!
