Roasted Pepper & Asparagus Quinoa

Hi, friends!

     Today I'm sharing one of my favorite quick and easy dinner recipes. It is so healthy and so yummy! Full of veggies and quinoa, it's the perfect balance of lean protein and complex carbs. I love quinoa because it's a great grain that is full of fiber and won't spike your blood sugar!

     This recipe takes under 25 minutes to make and tastes great as leftovers. Let's go!
