Today I was not in the mood at all to make dinner.  I thought about the cheapest and easiest thing to make and came up with a healthy little quinoa stir-fry.  The only thing I had to purchase was a roasted chicken breast from the hot counter of Loblaws for only $3.99.  It was a HUGE breast and I still have half of it leftover to use tomorrow in another recipe.  I had made quinoa the night before so I also had a little over 1/2 cup in the fridge.  I gathered some veggies and spices and made this meal in less than 10 minutes!
