Rarely can I read a news or social media feed today without seeing something about essential oils. It’s one of those everybody is doing it thing, and not typically being one who moves with the masses on trends I was hesitant to try this new craze. Although, it’s not truly new.

Pronounced keen-waa or if you are like me Quin-O-A when I first saw the word at a restaurant. This little grain comes from South America and is packed with protein.

After cooking these amazing little seeds of nutrition they can be served in multiple different ways and I’ll share a recipe with you on Saturday.
