AUTUMN QUINOA 🧡🌿🧡
Hello my Dearest Foodies,
This weekend is the last one of the summer season, at least here in North America and Europe. Although, we are having a beautiful weather today, and it doesn't feel like autumn is around the corner, the calendar says it is!
Anyway, here in Canada we are also going to celebrate our Thanksgiving very soon, which is on OCTOBER 14th. Our stores an supermarkets are are already in a Holiday mood, there for I thought I better get with the program, lol.
I made this simple Quinoa with Roasted Yams just to get started, which turned out delicious. And even though I am having hard time letting summer go, the smell of autumn cooking does make me feel little better.

Thank you so much my Dear 🧡
I think I just might make something similar this week! This type of dish always hits the spot for me. Such delicious flavors. I got some beets at the farmers market this morning, and we've got plenty of butternut squash to work with for my own hint of fall. Thank goodness we have had some cooler evenings as it still feels quite hot here, as well! I still think I might have chili on the menu for the week just because I'm craving it regardless of the temperature! :)
Thank you so much Katie I am glad you like it 😍
Oh yeah! I wouldn't mind some chili neither! And by the way I make my with butternut squash, but it would would go perfect with this mix as well. The squash time is coming so I have to make some recipes before the end of October.
oh my goodness this looks and sounds amazing my dear :) You are definitely ushering Autumn in with a tasty dish! Your Apple Cider dressing sounds delicious, I'm definitely going to have to try this. Love it!
Well, I don't want to be behind the trend, lol. Thank you so much my Dear, I am happy you find it appetizing; that means a lot to me 🧡😍🧡
I miss quinoa so much, we had it while in Ecuador almost every day. Here in Suriname it is nowhere to be found. It's too hot and wet here to grow. I do miss it so much, it's so much more filling than rice.
