    Here is a gluten-free dinner recipe:

    Quinoa with Vegetables
    • 1/2 cup water
    • 1/2 cup quinoa
    • 1/2 cup frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry of liquid
    • 1/2 can low-sodium garbanzo beans, rinsed
    • 1/2 package beluga lentils
    • 1 roma tomato, chopped
    • 1 pinch of salt
    • 1 pinch of garlic powder
    • Dash of paprika
    • 1/8 cup low-moisture vegetable rennet mozzarella cheese, shredded (optional)
    Yield: 2 cups

    Place the water in a microwave-safe bowl, and microwave for 3 minutes or until boiling. Once boiled, add quinoa and cover with a plate so that the quinoa rises. Place the spinach, garbanzo beans, lentils, and tomato together in the bowl with the quinoa. Add a pinch of salt, garlic powder, and a dash of paprika. Finish with low-moisture shredded cheese, if desired.

    This is a great, hearty dish that serves as a nice substitute for pasta. Quinoa is gluten-free and loaded with protein -- the Aztecs actually harvested it for their long journeys through the mountains because it was so densely packed with nutrients. You might not be preparing for a three-day trek, but quinoa is one way to make sure you never run out of fuel, and it's quick and easy, too!
