Ingredients:

1 Cup of Quinoa
2 Cups of Vegetable Broth.
2 Sweet Potatoes
1 Lemon
2 Tablespoons of Braggs
2 1/2 Tablespoons of Maple Syrup
2 Garlic Cloves
1/2 White onion
1/2 Red Pepper
1/2 cup of corn
1/2 cup of peas
3 Tablespoons of Cumin (approximately)
2 Large handfuls of Spinach (or whatever amount you prefer.



Place Vegetable Broth & Quinoa in a small pot and bring to a boil. Once boiled, cover and reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes.

Meanwhile place chopped sweet potatoes in a pot of boiling water and boil on medium heat until cooked.

Spray A seperate pan with Pam (or cook in oil if you want to), and add crushed garlic cloves and onion. Sauttee for a minute or two, add about 1/8 cup of water and then add in red pepper, sweet potato, corn and peas.  I did not measure my Cumin seasoning I just basically put a whole bunch into the mixture, along with some black pepper and some onion powder. keep sautteeing for about 5 minutes.

Whisk Maple syrup, Braggs and lemon in a large bowl. Add in spinach and stir. Add in vegetable mixture and Quinoa and stir. Serve Chilled or Warm.
