" So, my 28-day eat-at-home challenge is hard (anyone else trying it with me?). Really hard. Take last night, for instance, I really wanted to go out. I could almost taste the chicken souvlaki at my favorite little Mediterranean place. Sigh. But, I was good and made this tasty and simple dinner instead...**** Have you heard of quinoa (pronouced &amp;quot;keen-wah&amp;quot;)? It&amp;#x27;s an ancient grain that hasn&amp;#x27;t gotten much publicity over the years--overshadowed by wheat and oats. But, it&amp;#x27;s starting to gain some new popularity among nutritionists (who love that it&amp;#x27;s rich in protein) and foodies (who love it as an ingredient for fabulous side dishes). I&amp;#x27;m totally smitten--for both reasons. So, I made a really easy quinoa salad, which makes a terrific meal alone or served with a grilled chicken breast. Sarah&amp;#x27;s Quinoa Salad Ingredients: 1 cup of quinoa 1 cup of halved grape or cherry tomatoes 1 medium shallot, diced A small bunch of minced Italian parsley A drizzle of olive oil Salt and pepper to taste The super simple directions: Prepare the quinoa per the box instructions (basically, bring the quinoa and two cups of water to a boil, reduce heat and let simmer for about 10 minutes until cooked). Fluff it up, and then add in all the ingredients. Voila! Tasty, easy, delicious. (In case you missed it, my last dinner: homemade pizza, mmmm.) What are you having for dinner tonight? Help--I need ideas! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
