Give Thanks! Spicy Apple Cran Pecan Quinoa
Hey…
I know, I know. Right about now you’re gathering all of your final ingredients and probably have pies in the oven in anticipation of tomorrow, Thanksgiving!!
But here’s a quick, easy, unexpected twist on the flavors of the day! And especially perfect if you have a guest with gluten sensitivity.
In honor of Hanukkah, you can use kasha instead of quinoa. Either way, I am not exaggerating when I say you will want to GOBBLE it up immediately!
Have a beautiful holiday!
Love, Annette
