So we're trying another new recipe from Food Gawker tonight. It smells super-duper-yummy!!!!
Quinoa Salad
I've changed it up a bit and am adding turkey. Yesterday I roasted a turkey I've had in my freezer since last November. We were blessed with two for the holidays last year and I held on to this one for a time like this. I will be able to get four meals off of it and this is the first. :)
I went ahead and mixed up everything but the tomato. I wanted the turkey to have a chance to sit in those flavors and marinate a bit. That way you don't taste flavor and bland turkey. Hopefully sitting in there all day will help it take on more of the flavor.
And if you don't already know about quinoa you must read about it! It is a complete protein all packed into one little bitty grain. Amazing huh? It is also high in fiber, magnesium and iron.

So far so good with school today. We got a bit behind this morning since our Bible Study took longer than I expected (partly because it was longer and partly because two certain students weren't paying attention) but it all evened out. We're having our lunch break now. Then we'll be right back at it again.
