Quinoa, Grilled Veggies and Cashew Cheese

Posted May 05 2011 9:05pm
Do you ever have leftover grilled veggies you don't know what to do with?  You know, all the peak season fresh stuff like corn, eggplant, zucchini, squash and onion you don't want to waste? How about extra rice or grains?  Any hummus (or in the case of us detoxers cashew cheese)?

Well I have the perfect solution because I happened to have all three and got creative after getting home with a hunger the size of Texas.  I needed something in three minutes or less. 

So here is how this works.
After grilling, just cut the cooled veggies up and throw them in the refrigerator and pull them out when you are ready (which would be now).  Add some cooked quinoa (which is actually a grain-like seed packed with protein), or a whole grain such as brown rice or millet, whatever you have on hand; microwave, then add a bit of cashew cheese or hummus and you've got a light meal.
What is your favorite go to meal when you are really hungry and don't have time to cook?       Quinoa, Grilled Veggies and Cashew Cheese Printable Recipe
