    High in protein and fiber, my spinach quinoa recipe makes a great easy weekday dinner. Quinoa is one of the most versatile of super-foods. It's a go-to for many Vegetarians. This dish is easily Vegetarian friendly by leaving out the smoked sausage.

    Sun Dried Tomato and Spinach Quinoa with Smoked Sausage

    I typically prepare my sun dried tomato and spinach quinoa recipe without the added smoked sausage. Quinoa a really versatile super-food as it's high in fiber and packed with protein.  Wanting to make a meat eating friend happy one night, I tossed in some smoked sausage and came away with an easy weekday meal that was super tasty, healthy and very filling.
