I originally used this blog to share healthy recipes that I made while receiving foodstamps as an Americorps*VISTA. Now, I am a VISTA alum and a full-time grad student working two jobs. I no longer qualify for foodstamps, but I am still on a very tight food budget. I use this blog to share recipes, voice my opinions on being healthy, and share how much I spend at the grocery store every week on food.

Recipe: Pesto Quinoa
Quinoa recipes are famous for being simple, yet delicious. This is no exception. I actually made the pesto myself, but even that required minimal effort beyond mincing garlic and measuring things.
ingredients:
1 cup quinoa
2 cups vegetable broth
2 tbsp pesto
1 tomato, diced
salt and pepper to taste
directions:
Bring the quinoa and broth to a boil in a saucepan; cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until the moisture is completely absorbed, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat; stir the pesto through the quinoa. Fold the tomato into the mixture. Season with salt and pepper to serve.
serves 4
