What a crazy week! I’ve been in Seattle since last Tuesday and Jamie’s been sick, so we got a little off track on blogging. So sorry, we promise to make it up to you this week!

As a vegan, I’m always looking for healthy recipes to replace the heartiness of meat and dairy. Especially in the winter, sometimes a salad just doesn’t suffice and I need something a little more warm and filling. This well-rounded recipe provides the protein of quinoa, the high nutrient content of kale, and the healthy fat of sunflower seeds…can’t go wrong there!!

For the quinoa:

1 c. cooked quinoa

2 stalks kale, ribs removed

2 tbsp. chopped sweet onion

For the sauce:

1/4 c. sunflower seeds

1 tbsp. apple cider vinegar

1 tsp. olive oil

1 tbsp. nutritional yeast

1-2 cloves garlic, minced

water to thin it out if you like a lighter consistency

Steam…
