Lemon Asparagus Artichoke Quinoa

So this is a recipe I just made up off the top of my head and it turned out amazing. Most of the measturments are just off of the top of my head


  • 1C Quinoa
  • 1 3/4C water
  • 2 Tbs EVOO
  • 1-2C chopped asparagus ( i used half of a bunch)
  • 1/2 of an onion, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • An 8 oz jar of marinated artichokes KEEP THE LIQUID FROM THE JAR
  • 2-3 Tbs lemon juice
  • salt, pepper, a few dashes of Italian seasoning, 


Add quinoa and water to a pot and bring to a boil
While bringing quinoa to a boil, add EVOO asparagus, onion, and garlic to a pan and cook on medium untill onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.
When quinoa is boiling and onions are translucent, add the asparagus mixture to the quinoa. Add jar of artichoke, artichoke marinade, lemon juice, and seasonings. Cover and simmer for about 15 minutes to 20 minutes
You will know when it is done when all the liquid is gone.



Seriously my best invention ever. It is a must try. Wish I had a camera to take a picture of its awesomenss
