Sloppy Joe's with Salad
5:57 pm
Sunday afternoon and I'm standing around the kitchen wondering what to eat that won't make me feel all gross and heavy on this super hot day. I wanted something kinda healthy, but didn't want a plain salad.
I was on Pinterest, because that's my go to for dinner ideas, and came across Sloppy Joe's. I didn't want to get mince out of the freezer, because it was 6pm and I was feeling super lazy.. Get my point? I wanted something easy.
Enter Quinoa. I love it.
I made up a quick salad to go with it, instead of a burger bun and my dinner was ready by 7pm to relax on the couch, and catch up Nashville. { Which I'm still reeling // shocked by!! }
This is also super yummy on cooked buttered Turkish bread also if you're not a salad lover.
