As I've mentioned in previous posts, I tend to find a recipe I like and then eat nothing but that for months at a time. Befittingly, I have been ordering a sushi burrito from down the street every day for both lunch and dinner and subsequently racking up a small fortune in my Takeout category on Mint (if you don't already use this I highly recommend).

By my third batch of burnt quinoa I was tempted to scratch this and sub lettuce for quinoa, but 'veggie fajita salad' didn't have the same ring to it. TAKE AWAY: when microwaving quinoa aka the lazy man's method, it's DOUBLE the water to quinoa ratio, not equal. Le sigh.
