Easy Chicken Quinoa Salad
You didn't know quinoa could do this, did you? I have to tell you something. I absolutely LOVE shredding a rotisserie chicken. I love it. I don't know what it is.

Vegan Quinoa and Black Beans

I consider myself a meat lovin’ girl and married a man who doesn’t consider it a meal unless some type of meat is present.
