One of my favorite easy meals to make was tuna and macaroni. Literally I would make a box of mac-n-cheese and add two can of tuna. That's it. Easy and delicious. I used to make this all the time in college.
Now I can make it by substituting a couple of ingredients and it's just as good!
After cooking one cup of quinoa, add about 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese and mix.
Then mix in about two tablespoons of plain Greek yogurt followed by two cans of tuna.
That's it. This is a great recipe for a quick, but filling lunch option. I usually make it on Sunday and then take it to school for my lunch.
If you're not eating quinoa yet, take a look at this great article and this blog post detailing the benefits of this amazing super-food.
