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

I ate this strawberry cheesecake for lunch dessert (early afternoon tea)
For lunch I ate hot smoked salmon on spinach leaves with feta stuffed peppers
For breakfast I had bacon and eggs with some blue cheese
Quinoa and bacon is a great idea however my eye was drawn to the egg and bacon. Also is the tart the solution to a sudden onset disaster?
A nice tart always helps me avert disaster lol
A day with multiple bacon meals is definitely a good day! 😀
Exactly Lorraine 🙂
woah – you sure do like Dijon! Is my fav, too!
Hehe, it was a tablespoon of dijon and a little butter stirred in with the quinoa 😀 But yes, I love dijon
