Quinoa and Greens, Inc.

Bake 1/2 of a small to medium size squash of your choice until tender (optional: pour maple syrup on it while it cooks)
Boil 3 cups of water,
Add 11/2 cup of Quinoa (simmer until done)

In a bowel add olive oil, then add the following
1-2 cloves fresh crushed garlic
Chop a handful of fresh herbs- (I used thyme, chives & oregeno)
Salt to taste
Fresh black pepper.

Mix hot quinoa in the oil/herb mixture and toss.

When squash is complete, cube, and then add to quinoa mix.

In a heavy frying pan heat oil with a pinch of turmeric, onion powder, salt and cumin until it sizzles, then add a bit of water (so it steams) then add a bunch of swiss chard (can use kale, or spinach) and cook off any water that hasn't evaporated. Add mixture to the quinoa.

Crumble a handful of walnuts into the mix.

Enjoy!
