Make the goodness and flavor of summer-fresh cherries last all year long with tart chewy dried cherries—perfect for cooking or out-of-hand snacking.
Quinoa, Spinach and Walnut Stir-Fry
Discover quinoa, the super-grain, in this meatless meal.
Always a hit with Health Barn kids, quinoa (keen-wa) is a whole grain that’s a complete protein, fiber-rich and chock-full of vitamins and minerals. Substitute couscous if you can’t find quinoa. Toast the walnuts in the oven for 5 minutes, as they impart a lot of flavor to this dish.
