Quinoa,Cranberry and Roasted Pumpkin Seed Side Dish - Vegan

 It is Vegan Friday, everyone and I am caught in the act... I am now jumping into the Quinoa bandwagon and I am liking it; it is so obvious that I am in love with this whole grain  because I just posted this overly delicious Quinoa and Eggplant with Tomato  Stir Fry last Sunday and now this different version of Quinoa in a side dish form or if want to call it in a salad form. Annnnnnd, there will be more Quinoa recipe coming...

Guys, I have to come clean! I am eating Quinoa this whole week because last Saturday, I was craving Asian food and I went to my favorite Vietnamese restaurant... and you know what, the good 'ol me binged and ate like there is no tomorrow... if I remember right, I think I ate all the menus there. So I am guilty (pout)  with the mindless eating and I am now making up and reversing those  wasted calories, and  unhealthy cholesterol that could be forming in my arteries right at this minute. AND WHEN I FEEL GUILTY ABOUT EATING SOMETHING BAD, I HAVE QUINOA TO GO TO NEUTRALIZE THAT. Do you ever have this moment?

But you know what, I do not mind eating Quinoa because it is really good. It is crunchy and it is so filling that a cup of theQuinoa and Eggplant with Tomato  Stir Fry lasted me 8 hours before I felt any hunger. Now, that is the kind of meal I need and I guess you too. So enjoy this Quinoa meal today and wait for another Quinoa Recipe next week...
