Quinoa Quiche
I pounded out 13 successful miles this morning. I am now 100% ready for the half marathon. I was so proud of myself!! The next two weeks will be taper weeks with some speed work. To celebrate, I treated myself to a shopping trip. I was in the market for a new dress, but was not able to find anything. Even Texas is starting to put out warm clothes. I ended up not purchasing anything, but had fun just trying things on.
Before I left for the mall, I made a protein packed quiche. This is not for the faint of heart. It combines protein from eggs, edamame and all the nutritional benefits of quinoa. I used leftover quinoa I had sitting in the fridge, so it was fast, easy and kept me full all afternoon. I love quinoa and always have it in the cupboard…my recipe page can vouch for that. lol!
