One Pan Mexican Quinoa

You know what's great about Damn Delicious' One Pan Mexican Quinoa , other than how it tastes? I don't have to adjust a thing to make it safe for Patrick. It's completely dairy free and vegan.


Patrick ate it up but my little one, not so much. He's not a spicy guy and this does have jalapeño in it. 


I dice them pretty small and cook them for awhile with the garlic, which really cuts the heat. This is a super quick meal as well. Other than the jalapeño, I did no chopping (I use jarred minced garlic.) So I put it all in the pan and cover it up and let it cook for 25 minutes. Super easy! 

Made a salad and a lemon vinaigrette and dinner was on the table. Hope you try it and enjoy!

Pasta with Pesto Cream Sauce

The Pasta with Pesto Cream Sauce turned out fantastic! Sometimes when I substitute so much the finished product just doesn't work, but this time it definitely did. 
To start I didn't make the pesto as suggested. I used Amore's pesto paste since its dairy free. 
Cream and butter are no nos for us so I used plain unsweetened soy milk and Earths Balance buttery sticks.
And I had some mini heirloom tomatoes to use up so I chopped them up instead of two whole tomatoes.
It turned out really well! After eating it I wish I'd put some pine nuts on top for some extra protein, but it was very tasty!
