Kale and quinoa – healthy and hearty

I had a hard time finding kale this past week - must have been a shortage somewhere in the food chain. Of course, this happened when I decided I just had to try a new pilaf recipe - go figure! In any case, I did finally manage to pick some up hence you're getting the recipe today. I combined it with sweet potatoes and a prepackaged quinoa and brown rice mix that I always have on hand and it came out really great! It is even good reheated which means you can make it ahead of time for busy weeknights. This makes a wonderful meatless meal as quinoa has tons of protein, a good gluten-free meal a well as a nutritious side.
