Okay...first of all....thank you SO much for all the love and support over the past 24 hours.  I was just thrilled to share where I came from....and had no clue I would get the response I did.  I think you can tell from the photo above how insanely happy Eric and I are, and we can't wait to see what the future holds.  And now I obvi have to share it!  Duh!  Because we are all besties now ;)!

On a lighter note....let's talk tacos.  I mean....it is TACO TUESDAY....right?  And I would totally be lying if I tried to deny that it wasn't taco Sunday and taco Monday in my house....and more than likely will be taco Wednesday too.  But I am giving myself props....because instead of eating Chipotle 6 nights a week...I have perfected my own rendition.  Introducing:  The Turkey & Quinoa Taco Bowl.




​
​I obviously am in a serious relationship with quinoa.  But it is totally justifiable. Quinoa is super nutritious.  It is high in protein and fiber, is gluten-free, has a low glycemic index...and it is very versatile in the kitchen.  It is also bland in flavor, so it blends wonderfully with pretty much anything.  There isn't anything super over-the-top special about this recipe; however there are some great healthy touches. Instead of using a taco seasoning as sold in stores.....I used spices I already had at home to make my own.  The big benefit here is that this makes the seasoning much lower in sodium. Plus it rocks.  I used a ground turkey and quinoa mix instead of ground beef....which was bomb and healthy.  I consider eating this meal for 3-nights-straight: research.  I had to figure out the best combos.  You can get crazy if you want and add beans and corn for toppings or add a little orzo to spice things up.  Maybe a little cheese and a dollop of plain greek yogurt....or is that too risky (Jordan?  Katie?)?  The possibilities are endless ;).  No matter how you dress it....you won't be mad.  Promise.

Peace, love & tacos.

XoXo,
NaturallyNati
