Yummy quinoa, kale and beet dinner

Another produce box-oriented dinner idea, this time inspired by beets and kale. And if I do say so myself, it turned out wonderfully, both as a warm treat that allows the goat cheese to melt just slightly, or cold the next day for leftovers. If you're refrigerating though, make sure to crumble the goat cheese and walnuts on just before serving. The dressing includes tahini, a delicious Middle Eastern sesame seed paste that gives a toasted, peanut-y taste. It can be found in the ethnic aisle of most grocery stores or in bins at bulk food stores.

Welcome to What Would Sunny Eat

Welcome! With a detox. Wait, what? Yes this is a blog about how much I love food and if you, dear readers, stay with me I promise I will get to those indulgent, too good to pass up recipes and restaurant meals.  BUT, I wanted to start with a bang, so I'm going to do that by following the Wild Rose cleanse.

This means no dairy  (just snuck two Babybels from the fridge as I realized, no cheese eek), no caffeine, no alcohol or processed grains. And no fun? No way! I am determined to make still-delicious meals and help others who might be looking for cleansing recipes.

I'm using mostly organics here from my weekly produce delivery box, which is also the best idea I may have ever had. I absolutely love the variety and randomness of it, as well as trying to find new recipes from everything from collard greens to tomatillos.

Please feel free to give me lots of feedback and any suggestions for recipes or restaurants you want to read about!
