three beans and quinoa

i made lunch today - j. loved it and said it's his favorite vegan recipe to date. i made some quinoa using veggie broth instead of water.

then in a seperate pot i heated up 1 can of each trader joe's organic black beans, organic kidney beans and organic pinto beans. i threw in some salt and pepper and some garlic powder.

once my quinoa was done, i added the beans, some olive oil and balsamic vinegar, a little more salt and a little more garlic. here's the final product.

in hindsight, i would probably leave out the olive oil since it didn't add much to the flavor, just calories. it made about six servings, so there's more than enough for us both to have lunch tomorrow. j. had two helpings and i'm totally full off of one, so i'm calling this one a success. yay!
