This salad-ish bowl is kind of high maintenance but it’s a true meal, and this bowl would be something like $18. The quinoa and sweet potato make it filling with feta and cranberries for more flavor.

Fall Quinoa and Sweet Potato Bowl
Ingredients: (serves 3 meals – 4 sides)
1/2 cup quinoa + 1 cup water
1 large or 2 smaller sweet potatoes
1 can garbanzo beans
2 cups arugula or any greens
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup feta cheese
balsamic dressing or balsamic reduction or balsamic vinigrette

Directions:
Cook the quinoa and the sweet potato. (My potatoes took about 4 minutes in the micro and the quinoa cooked for ~20 minutes on the stove.)
Add quinoa, sweet potato, arugula, chickpeas, cranberries, and feta to a bowl.

Toss well and drizzle with balsamic before serving.
Enjoy!

I split into 3 and packed dressing on the side. I also opened an enormous bag of dried cranberries so here’s hoping I get some others to eat some or you may be seeing them in a lot of different forms!
