In recent months we have seen that more and more we have regular readers, and followers, who choose to eat vegetarian or vegan. With that in mind I am passing on this recipe suggestion from Vegangela blog, it's Oven-Baked Mexican Quinoa Casserole - a vegan recipe.
Simply fry up the onion and garlic, then toss everything in a casserole dish and let it cook in the oven for 1 hour. So easy, and it's vegan / gluten-free / nut-free and has moderate carbs ...
