Veggies and Quinoa Not a Meal?

Just finished eating dinner....

Chris and I talked this morning about what we had in our fridge to put together for dinner tonight so we didn't have to go to the store after work. I said we could bake the brussel sprouts in a touch of dijon mustard and olive oil, have the beets in the freezer from my parents garden they recently brought over and some quinoa.

So when we got home we quickly prepared everything and there was some grumblings from the other side of the table that there was 3 "sides" for dinner and no "main". It was really tasty and really fast to prepare.

Quinoa is my favourite grain - it's the grain with the highest amount of protein and has great calcium and magnesium content as well - AND it definitely can be considered a complete meal when served with just veggies. Maybe next time to satisfy everyone we'll put some lentils(or sausage!) in the mix... maybe that will makes all the troops happy!
