Simple Dinner!

Want a quick dinner?  (It is what I made really quickly tonight.)  Its pretty complicated... are you ready!?

Mix quinoa and marinara sauce together for a simple, tasty, quick dinner!  There you go!  I had quinoa already made from the other night- so in a pan I warmed up 2 tbs coconut oil, quinoa and marinara sauce.  I would have sprinkled some goat cheese on top but I didn't have it at home. 

So instead of making spaghetti with white or whole wheat noodles, next time try quinoa. (For those on Candida Clear DON'T use noodles that claim to be quinoa noodles.  They have both quinoa and brown rice.  You want to stay away from brown rice on Candida Clear which is why plain quinoa is your best option.)  Maybe even make some meatballs to go with it!  Click here for a candida clear friendly recipe. 

P.S.  When choosing marinara sauce make sure it has no food coloring or added sugars (which can be hard to find).  I have found a really delicious one at Kroger and Costco with no added sugars!!  Make sure to read your labels because they sneak added sugar in all the time.  Enjoy!

New Life Link is a Christian Haitian orphanage right outside of Port-au-Prince, Haiti. They currently have around 75 children they care for that are all waiting to be adopted. Many of the children have lost their parents in the earthquake or they cannot care for their children. New Life Link takes in and helps to place these children into loving Christian families! We have a couple going there over Easter to see their children because they are still waiting on the adoption process. So this March let’s help them collect all the goods they need to help these children have an amazing and memorable Easter! For more information please visit
