    Is it okay for me to say that I'm glad the holidays are over?  I'm glad my kids are back in school and my to do list is slightly shorter?  I love Christmas but this one was exceptionally crazy.  

    My parents were here for one month (yes, you read that right) and I'm ready to get back to a semi-regular schedule.  I want to have time to peruse my cookbooks and make a weekly meal plan.  I want to clean out the pantry.  I want to go through my children's closets and donate old clothes.  I want to nest.

    As part of my weekly meal planning, I like to create a salad to have at the ready all week.  Sometimes it's a simple green salad and other times it's a grain salad like millet or quinoa.  

    This is one of my favorite go-to meal prep salads.

    I've had a love/hate relationship with quinoa.  

    I bought a rice cooker at CVS for $11.00 and it changed my attitude. Now I can easily measure 2 cups water or chicken broth to 1 cup rinsed quinoa and walk away.  It always ends up perfect without any worries.  

    I like quinoa because it's the perfect healthy base for any meal.  It's gluten free, full of protein and pairs well with just about any vegetable.  Clean eating at its best.
