Chipolte Sour Cream Dip

Quick and Easy Savory Quinoa
Quinoa, like most grains, is a little bit boring by itself. Add some spices and a little coconut oil though and you can transform it into something that could be eaten all by itself. Well, I can at least.

My body can tell that it’s wheat-free because I don’t get the usual symptoms that come from eating wheat.
