Everyone who loves baked goods will appreciate this creamy homemade recipe.

I think this combination of vegetables, and chicken is excellent. I prefer to serve it as a healthy lunch.
I always come back to this recipe when I have no idea what I could cook. This recipe for la delicious unch will be to the liking of people suffering from celiac disease because it does not contain gluten at all.
Very easy food to prepare, quinoa has become known in recent years due to the nutrients it contains and the ease with which it can be included in the daily menu.
It is found in many varieties but the most common are white, red, and black quinoa. The beans are small, round, and hard, but after boiling they soften and acquire the texture of rice.
Rich in vitamins (group of vitamins B, E) and minerals (iron, magnesium, potassium), quinoa is easy to digest but full, making it an ideal choice for a balanced lifestyle.
This amount of ingredients results in 6 smaller portions, so it will be easy for you to take a portion with you to work or school the next day (of course, if you have anything left). This recipe is perfect for casseroles.
