Welcome weekend and welcome back sickness....Yes, I'm sick again with a bad cough, headache and feaver. I already felt bad on thursday and on friday I had such bad headache and the cough started. Not really good, when working and dealing with patients at a doctors office. Well you may say that I'm a the right place, but it's different being a client than working there.

Usually I'm not that sick often, but with this bad - and I mean really bad weather. It's at the end of May and we only have about 10 Celsius. It's so frustrating. I planted my garden last weekend and I hope it will grow. Even the farmers got their problems, not fruit or vegetable will grow.

AND next week is my Birthday and I so badly want to sit in the garden with the grill on and enjoying the evening with the family.

Back to my recipe. Even being sick I had to cook something and all I wanted was easy and fast done dish packed with full of health.

I had some cooked leftover Quinoa and I just reheated it up and added the rest of the ingredients. It will work well as a cold dish, but for myself I needed a lightly warm dish.

Guess this dish will work well as a side dish when grilling outside.

 

Enjoy and have good weekend!
