I often struggle to get a nice dinner on the table when I am just cooking for myself. Now that I have a little one crawling around, I usually alternate between throwing avocado or almond butter on toast and calling it a day. However, this dish is just as perfect for one as it would be for many and it only takes minutes to prepare. Just adjust the quantities based on how many mouths you are feeding. I make the quinoa in advance and then throw in whatever I happen to be in the mood for. Tonight I had fresh cherry tomatoes and avocado on hand so I sliced them up and threw on a handful of thyme along with the sautéed onions. Depending on your mood and appetite, you can top it all with a fried egg and crumbled goat cheese. Enjoy!
