I made this recipe while I was cooking up a storm (aka making a HUGE mess) and filling up the freezer with more food for George.  So it all came together with a little bit of this and a little bit of that.  Turned out pretty yum, well George seemed to think so anyway, gobbling it all up.

Nutrition Note:  Quinoa is a grain that is very easily digested, giving it another reason why its great for babies and toddler
