Roasted Butternut Quinoa Salad

July 8, 2015 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

When people ask me what my go-to gluten free, yet easy to make, lunch is, I tell them quinoa. It takes around 10 minutes to make and you can either make it that day or the day before and keep a tupperware full in the fridge for a few days. You can also add to…

Roasted Butternut Squash with Garlicky Spinach

January 28, 2015 by theorganicspoon 1 Comment

When you first go vegetarian or vegan, it can be a bit stressful, especially if you are short of time. That’s because we’re so used to being able to ‘stick a steak under the grill’ or ‘put a chicken in the oven’ or ‘grill a chicken breast’ and so on and so forth. I got…
