Loads of leftover quinoa + fresh strawberries from the farmers market = time to get creative.
Creativity is a word that I have on my mind a lot these days. I used to take art classes as a kid. I loved to paint and draw. I even won a couple of first place ribbons at art shows. I wonder if I still have any talent? Hmmm I will have to try again soon.
Lately, I have been expressing my creativity in the kitchen. I have never made a sweet quinoa dish before so I thought I would try it out. See recipe below. 
Madilyn expresses her creativity these days by picking out her own outfits. She loves to go into her closet and pick what she is going to wear for the day. They don’t match sometimes but who cares, right?
Sometimes the most delicious meals (or outfits) come together when we least expect it. Let your creativity get the best of you.
