Red Quinoa & Lentil Pilaf 2/28

So... I'm just catching up on my food blog, but I took all of the photos, so I figured it was worth sharing!  Back at the end of February I made a Red Quinoa and Lentil Pilaf with a recipe from Food and Wine.  It's a Vegan dish, which often has people wary - if there is no meat, will I be full?  But I will say, this dish was MORE than filling!  And the leftovers were amazing as well!
I was out of Cauliflower, so I just used Chickpeas to fill up the dish.  The fresh parsley and marcona almonds complimented the dish nicely, while the lentils and chickpeas gave it a very hearty texture.  We will definitely be making this one again!
