Gluten Free Coconut Chicken Curry & Quinoa Recipe
I walked into the lunch room one day only to walk into this wonderful smell of curry coming from my colleague Shannon's lunch (Shannon also has a Celiac Dog). So I had to ask what she had and she said it was a Coconut Curry & Quinoa. So I told her I had to have the recipe for the blog. I wish there was smell-o-vision for this one, because it smelt great!
This is gluten free, dairy free, and vegetarian if you take out the chicken.
Shannon's lunch! Yes, I invaded her lunch with my cell phone picIngredients
