Prepare quinoa according to package. (I use 2 cups chicken stock and 1 cup quinoa…once boiled, cover and simmer low for approx 15 min or until liquid is absorbed)

• Add 1 can black beans drained and rinsed
• 1/2 cup frozen corn kernals
• 1/2 cup frozen peas
• 2-3 chopped red peppers
• 1 teaspoonful cumin
• salt and pepper
• 1-2 T olive oil
• juice of 1/2 lime
• fresh thyme and basil (optional)

Toss it all together and serve warm or room temp. Great way to get protein and veggies into a meal. Also great for BBQ’s and potlucks. Enjoy!
