Black Beans and Quinoa

Had my first quinoa tonight. Black bean soup, a can of black beans (rinsed and  drained), corn, picante sauce, green onions all cooked with quinoa. It was tasty. Not sure what I was expecting exactly. I knew it was a grain but I thought it would be….puffier? I figured it would expand more like rice does. So the quinoa itself was basically tasteless. But it was good with the rest of the mix. (Original recipe on vegetariantimes.com)

I was having too much fun playing with my almost 2 year old (!) to focus too much on the food. She loves playing in her play kitchen and her new word is "wonderful!" Everything is "wonerful!" So awesome.
