I was at work one morning when I came across a tweet from Andrew Zimmerman. It was recipe contest from www.yumpower.com. I figured what the heck and filled it out. About 3 weeks later I received an email saying I was top among the judges and that I was invited to cook in a cooking contest. Unfortunately for me, It was across the country and in two weeks. So I forfeited my spot and moved into the top 15. I'm still really excited and never thought I would be chosen. Now I can tell my husband I'm an award winning chef.

The quinoa will start to come apart. It looks like little curly pieces. after quinoa and veggies are cooked toss together and shave or grate Parmesan cheese on top. This recipe is a great vegetarian dish and is also a good side dish. Quinoa is a super grain. Packed with minerals, vitamins, and protein. |

Many Americans never have heard of this grain (pronounced keen-wah). But according to NASA scientists tasked with feeding astronauts in space, quinoa comes as close to supplying "all the essential life-sustaining nutrients … as any (food) in the plant or animal kingdom." Quinoa is very high in fiber, protein and minerals, and very low in calories and in fat. Studies have shown eating a daily bowl can lower rates of obesity, breast cancer, heart disease and Type 2 diabetes
