I am no good at making original names for recipes...as you can probably tell.
Anyway, I had three ears of corn and wanted to make something new besides just corn on the cob. I was thinking soup or something like that, but although it's been a little chilly I don't think it's time just yet to start making soups. I do think that this dish looks pretty festive though for the upcoming season.

Where do you buy your quinoa?
ReplyDeleteI normally buy it at Trader Joes because you don't have to rinse it. At least that's what I've heard...and I don't rinse it and it still tastes delicious!
