There are three easy steps to this simple and elegant dijon quinoa dinner. All you need to do is cook some quinoa, cook some bacon and then put everything together.
I wasn’t sure what I was going to cook for dinner tonight but I tweeted earlier a hint of what I was thinking.
I believe the likelihood of #bacon featuring in my #dinner tonight is high
