quinoa & mushroom cream sauce

Good Morning!

I hope you all survived Irene and are revved up and ready to go for a new work week. Many schools start today, too! Wow, just think of where I was a year ago. Oh the changes we go through.  Anyway, I made this pretty spectacular dish that wasn’t very pretty. I just had to say it because I know you were thinking it. Well, don’t judge a book by its cover…This dish might not look like it is going to rock your world, but it was PRETTY darn good.
