Black Bean & Quinoa Loaf

Dinner tonight was a black bean & quinoa loaf, fresh bread, and apple & pineapple fruit salad.

It felt like every time I tried to make anything today I ran into a road block, so lots of things got improvised and some ingredients got forgotten (the almond meal from the loaf, for one!) The bread rose too much the first time around and not enough the second time. I meant to make roasted asparagus for a side, but between Friday & today the price went up from 77c/lb to 2.99/lb, so that plan got axed. Add in a baby who wanted to hold my hands and walk circles around the house for HOURS and today was a bit disjointed!

I hope despite everything, dinner was edible! It seemed okay on our end at least.

  2. We loved it and to my shock, Arthur loved it. He ate a slice of the quinoa loaf. Usually he would have opted for the bread only. So, this recipe goes down as a super winner. As I have said before, Arthur is our picky guy. So, finding something he likes is like winning the lotto. Thanks Claire!
