Greek Shrimp Quinoa

I'm finally done with my pediatric sub-internship, which was super fun, but the break is welcome!  I have the week off, then I'm headed to Madison for the month of September to do a pediatric pulmonology rotation and to scout the program :)  I'm not particularly fond of the idea of leaving Peter and Lady for a month, but I'm sure I'll have some fun.  Adventures to follow!

So this quinoa recipe was great...and I kind of made it up on the fly.  I love using quinoa, which (if you don't know by now) is a grain/rice-like thing that's super packed with protein and other great stuff for you.  This kept super well for lunch leftovers during the week!

Check out "Team Napping".  Gotta love shameless Sundays!
