(Hey did you know I'm now on instragram?  Join me for all the foodie fun LIVE!  Also, remember to subscribe to my blog or switch reader's...Google Reader is dying in 11 days! )

Last week my husband and I ate brisket one night and steak the next night.  At my husbands request, we are eating meatless this week (if you know my husband this is really huge for him, since he LOOOOVES meat)!  This was a recipe that I came up with (inspired by Kalyn's Vegan Mexican Rice Bowls) using the quinoa in my pantry.  My second quinoa recipe!  I'm getting the hang of it, I think!  My husband and I both enjoyed it and the kids ate it too (with a little cheese sprinkled on top).  I most especially loved the avocados...they are seriously one of my favorite foods.  SOOOOO YUMMY!  My 4-year-old saw the avocados and started freaking out because he was so excited.  He definitely takes after me.  Hope you enjoy this as much as we did!
