Before I made this chocolate chai breakfast quinoa, I had literally never eaten sweet quinoa, or had quinoa for breakfast. No good reason, it had just never occurred to me to do either.

Crispy (Baked) Fried Avocado Tacos with Chipotle Sauce
Recently a new taco place opened up near us, and among their vegetarian offerings is fried avocado tacos. It turns out, when you fry an avocado, it gets crispy on the outside, warm and creamy on the inside, and good all over. But I definitely try not to eat too many fried foods, and at […]
