Ingredients

1 lb extra lean ground beef preferably local & grass fed

4 medium celery stalks finely chopped
3 garlic cloves minced
2 lg. jars of natural tomato sauce I like President's Choice Fire Roasted Tomato or White Linen from Costco
2 tbsp olive oil
1 cup quinoa
1.5 cups of broth
1 tbsp minced garlic
1/4 cup parsley chopped fine
salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

Heat olive oil over medium. Add beef with salt & pepper and brown, breaking it up with a spoon. Once it's browned, add onion & celery and saute for around 5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and mix all together. Pour in 2 jars of tomato sauce and bring to a quick boil. Turn down and simmer while you make your quinoa and/or noodles
TO MAKE QUINOA:
Bring all ingredients to a boil in a covered saucepan.
Turn heat to a low simmer, still covered, for approximately 10 minutes. Check to see all liquid has been absorbed. Move pot off the heat and let stand covered for 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and spoon into bowls.
