The food world is full of trends. I'm sure you've heard mention of kale, green juice, avocado toast, acai bowls, and quinoa all at least once. Some people (a lot of people) embrace these trends wholeheartedly, wearing Kale shirts and juice cleansing to their hearts' delight, while others shame such trends as too "basic" or "mainstream."
And, OK, maybe some of these trends are a little basic. But if they're delicious, and I promise you they are, why bash on them?
If you've ever been hesitant to experiment with one of these trendy foods, today is the day to make a change. Start with one of these epic quinoa recipes; you won't regret it.
