\"Lemony<\/a><\/p>\n

This recipe stems from a practice that I began when my toddler seemed to be losing interest in eating vegetables. I just keep them around, all over the place.<\/p>\n

We set out raw veggies for a snack in the living room in the afternoon when everyone’s starting to get hungry. And I steam a ton of veggies to serve as super-plain side dishes with dinner each night, even if we’re also eating something with vegetables in it and serving a salad.<\/p>\n

One result is that there is always a container of leftover cooked green beans or cauliflower or some such in the fridge to grab when I’m working at home and wanting lunch.<\/p>\n

I tossed cauliflower into this quick quinoa pilaf for lunch, and the high protein content of quinoa made a big difference in how long it took before I got hungry again. This is a flavorful, filling lunch to pack (or in my case grab out of the fridge) and it also makes an elegant, easy side dish to serve with fish or chicken.<\/p>\n\n
