If you know me, you know that quinoa bowls are a go to lunch for me! Since it’s summer time now, there are so many more varities of fruit to choose from!! My 4 and 6 year old boys must have inherited the Hawaiian gene from my hubby and I (neither of us are Hawaiian but he was born there and I lived there for 6 years;). They both love pineapple so they begged me to get one at the grocery store this week! I cut it up yesterday and decided to add it to my quinoa bowl today. I added some red pepper flakes, garlic salt, and parmesan cheese and the flavors were dancing in my mouth. This is going to be one of my favorites this summer! I just ate it cold so it would be a great meal to take with me to the pool or the lake. YUMMY!
