#Lunch3 - This can be a healthy quick fix one-pot meal on those days when one feels like relaxing without having to strain too much in the kitchen. As we all know Quinoa is a very healthy grain, containing iron, dietary fiber and protein. It is a good substitute to rice or wheat and is highly recommended to include in our diet.

So here you are...... Quinoa Egg Fried rice....My style. Any other veggies of your choice can be added to make it more nutritious and wholesome. Enjoy it just as it is or with any side dish for a healthy lunch.
