Roasted Asparagus and Mushroom Quinoa
I have a love for roasting vegetables and honestly i'ts the most low maintenance way to prepare veggies. This week I stumbled upon a great combination using some fresh produce I picked up at the store and quinoa, my new favorite go-to grain.
To plate, I scooped a little mound of the grain into a deep bowl, arranged the mushrooms and asparagus, then shaved a few long curls of hard Parmesan over the top...then ate within 5 minutes.
