Chicken Spinach Quinoa and Brown Rice #SundaySupper

I have had this recipe whirling around in my head for quite some time and after a super busy week, I couldn’t wait to get back in my kitchen and bring the recipe that I had been dreaming about to reality – Chicken Spinach Quinoa and Brown Rice.

I must admit, I am still buzzing around here on a total natural high. When you plan an event for so long, overseeing every little detail,  it becomes a part of you and then to finally see it executed – even better than you could have imagined – it’s a great feeling. That is the feeling that I have had all week – it is truly an amazing feeling to know that the Food and Wine Conference was a huge success.

As I looked around on Saturday evening during our #SundaySupper event, I was reminded that although I was breaking bread with my extended family, the energy that had been created, felt so good. At that moment, I realized that whether we are breaking bread with a large group of family and friends or in our own kitchens, energy feels so good!

By staying active and making healthy food choices, we are better equipped to #ChooseDreams for our families. Fit living is not about resolution or record setting. It is about becoming a healthy and happy family. When you feel your best mentally and physically, you have more energy to and a better ability to explore your passions and achieve your goals and dreams.

After a busy weekend at the Food and Wine Conference with my family, it felt so good to come home and spend some time around the family table inspired by all the great food we had enjoyed all weekend. This recipe for Chicken Spinach Quinoa and Brown Rice is such a great way to sneak in some spinach and mix up quinoa with brown rice. Even Riley “the picky one” tried it and said, this is actually very tasty. 

The Sunday Supper Movement Family hit the road this weekend from Orlando, FL  to Madison, WI. We are so excited to be partnering with American Family Insurance once again this month, as part of their#ChooseDreams initiative!
