Black and White Quinoa and Canellini Beans

This is just a quick little recipe that I make for lunch when I know I will be needing that protein. It's pretty simplistic but I am addicted to it. You can definitely jazz this dish up by adding some roasted red peppers, baby spinach, adding white wine in lieu of some of the broth. If you like the spicy add some heat to it with hot sauce, crushed red pepper, or cayenne pepper. A nice base recipe that can be experimented with.
