Elevated Wilde Garlek Quinoa

If quinoa ever had its own competitive league (like baseball but with more protein and fewer peanuts), I’d be a champion. 🏆 The only problem? I’ve never heard of a quinoa cook-off anywhere in America.

Which, frankly, feels like a missed opportunity.

So until the Quinoa Olympics are established, I’ll just share my winning entry right here.

Its tasty, it’s fluffy, and it’s powered up with my Oak City Spice Blends’ Wilde Garlek seasoning. Consider this the quinoa dish that could actually make your friends say, “Wow, I like quinoa now.”

Now grab a fork—you’re about to taste Victory!
