TAKE A BITE: CILANTRO LIME QUINOA

I haven't done a recipe on the blog in a while - so I figured it was high time to post another...and a healthy one, at that! 

Most people like cilantro lime rice - so this is a version that's a little healthier. Quinoa is seriously a superfood, and while I looooove me some white rice, sometimes I try to health-it-up by replacing it with quinoa.

This recipe just takes 4 ingredients and about 15 minutes to make- and is great on its own- or in tacos or burritos

What it takes to make it happen:

-1 cup quinoa

- 2 teaspoons lime juice (or more if you really dig limes)

- Handful of cilantro, roughly chopped

- pinch of salt

How to make it happen:

Step 1: RINSE. YO. QUINOA. No but really. Rinse it well before you cook it.

Step 2: Cook your quinoa per directions on the package. (Typically 1 cup quinoa/2 cups water)

Step 3: Let cool slightly and stir in lime juice, cilantro, and a pinch of salt.

Step 4: Eat warm or cool- it's delicious both ways!

 I made this and added it to a veggie burrito (with a ton of avocado) and it was SO good!

Anyone else have a great quinoa recipe I should try?

BEST BITES: SRIRACHA ROASTED CAULIFLOWER

I've been posting a lot of sweets & boozy recipes on the blog here lately, so I figured it was time for a healthy bite!

This recipe just calls for a couple ingredients, and if you don't like roasted veggies now, after this post- you juuuuust might. I mean, there's sriracha in it, so you know it's legit.

What you'll need to make it happen:

- 3 cups cauliflower, cut bit sized

- 2 tablespoons olive oil

- 1 tsp sriracha (feel free to double/triple that amount if need be)

- sea salt

- lime *optional

How to make it happen:

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350

Step 2: Whisk together your olive oil & sriracha, and mix in your cauliflower until well coated

Step 3: Sprinkle with sea salt & spread out on a foil lined baking sheet.

Step 4: Roast for 30 minutes, rotating to keep one size from over-browning midway through

Step 5: Turn on the broil for 2-3 minutes until top is browned, serve and enjoy!

*optional: squeeze some lime juice over the top for a tangy kick!

If you're a spice lover, feel free to load up with as much sriracha as need be :)
