Quinoa with Fresh Herbs
Green Beans with Lemon and Soy Sauce

Cooking time:  25 minutes for menu          Cooking schedule: see below for instructions

      What's summer without burgers?  More importantly: Cheeseburgers?  Try for Cremini mushrooms if you can - in the US they call them Baby Bela.

Cheeseburgers with Glazed Mushrooms

Total time: 20 minutes
    Simple grilled burgers topped with a thick wedge of runny Brie or goat cheese and sautéed mushrooms: adult cheeseburgers.  We normally eat burgers with a fork and a glass of red.  Feel free to have them on a bun with a Mountain Dew.

 Instructions:

Quinoa with Herbs 

Total time: 20 minutes
     I love the nutty flavor of quinoa, plus the fact that it's an 'almost perfect' food, and it's easy!  It can be cooked a bit ahead, then removed from heat and let sit, covered for 10 - 20 minutes. When ready to serve, uncover, stir in the herbs and spoon into a pretty bowl.

Note:  Add the dried herbs at the beginning, with the quinoa and stock; add fresh herbs at the end.

Green Beans with Lemon and Soy Sauce

Total time: 20 minutes
