Oh yea, this is where it's at. All the couscous-like, protein-filled awesomeness of quinoa combined with luscious coconut milk, kidney beans, and fresh cilantro from my herb garden. It was a magical combination, and I give Swell Vegan five gold stars for this one. If ya'll don't have this zine yet, rush over there and order a copy. It's also filled with 14 other recipes that I can't wait to get around to — like Lemon Zucchini Bread!
Plus, it's super cute! The zine is quarter-page size with a gold emprint designed by Swell Vegan herself. I stole this picture from her website, but hopefully she won't mind.
Though I could have easily doubled the portion on my plate and made this quinoa a one-dish meal, I stuck to the recommended serving size and threw in a few veggie sides for good measure — Sauteed Garlicky Kale and Steamed Sweet Potatoes:

I've been meaning to order that book! Thanks for the delicious reminder =)
Looks like an awesome meal!
oh my goodness what a yummy looking dish . Will make something like this today for post training. Could you believe I never liked quinoa when I first went vegan. I cannot get enough of it now.
Mmm... looking good! And what a cute zine. I'm a sucker for all things cute (which is why I have four furkids).
What a great combination of ingredients! And you are right, the zine looks cute.
I have to catch up with all the awesome books/zines that just came out, and make my cookbook shelf happy all over again.
I love that little zine!!!! The recipes all have me tempted and if making them all at once was a possibility, I would totally make the attempt!!!
Your photos are gorgeous Bianca! What a yummy meal.
Now that's a nice southern plate :)
I still never quite know what to do with quinoa--good suggestion!

That looks so delicious! I love me some red beans.
About the scones on my blog - I just used the VwaV generic scone recipe, with the berry variation. (Basically, I just cut up berries and mixed them in the dough at the end.)
that's the first recipe I made too! It really was delicious.
i thought those were tomatoes in your quinoa at first.... but they are kidney beans - crazy combo! i'll have to get a copy!
ooh, coconut red bean quinoa! that sounds so delicious! :) i need to give that zine a try!
Yum! I just got Swell in the mail last week and can't wait to try something from it! I will have to add that quinoa dish to the list because it looks slammin'
