2 - large Onions, diced
1 - Green pepper, diced
1/4 cup - Oil
1 cup - Mushroooms, sliced
1-2 cup - (raw) Quinoa
1 tsp. - Salt
A little pepper
1 1/2 cup - Chicken soup
Cook Quinoa separately. Quinoa cooks like rice
1 cup quinoa to 2 cups water,
bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer,
cover and cook until all the water is absorbed (about 15 minutes)
when the quinoa is done all the grains have turned from white to transparent,
and the spiral-like germ has separated.
Saute onions and green pepper in oil until tender.
Add mushrooms and saute until onions are lightly brown.
Over low heat, stir in quinoa and cook till lightly brown, stirring often.
Add seasoning and chicken soup and cook covered over a low heat until liquid is absorbed.
chopped spinach is a good substitute for folks who don't like mushrooms. also, you can leave it out entirely.

Really Good Pot Roast
Really Good Pot Roast
By Mom Hoffman and Modified by Sarah and Daniyel
Ingredients
4 to 5 lbs Meat, whole
2 Onions, sliced or diced
Garlic (many)
Oil for sautéing onion & garlic
1 or 2 Diced canned tomatoes, with juice
Carrots
Onion powder, garlic powder, onion soup mix (1/2 package; Streits canisters have no MSG)
6 or 7 teaspoons honey (or brown sugar)
diced tomato can full of water
Directions
1. Sautee onion garlic (can skip this)
2. Add tomatoes, juice, and water
3. Add seasonings, mix
4. Pour some of liquid on bottom of pot, then meat, then cover meat with remaining tomatoes and liquid
5. Bring to a boil, lower to medium flame
6. Cook 1 hour on medium per pound of meat, flipping meat every ½ hour and scooping veggies on top to keep it moist
7. When done, chill and skim off fat
8. Slice against grain before reheating
Notes:
1. We’ve made this faster by thinly slicing the meat against the grain when raw, then cooking at 350 for about 1 hour total (or until meat is tender)
2. Any smaller amount of meat works too
