The past two days have been nice and cool here. I’ve been waiting for this weather!

Now that the weather is cooling off, so is my apartment. My home has huge windows on one side, which I love, but it sure does get hot in there (even with A/C blasting) during summer. The last thing I wanted to do most days was heat it up even more by cooking!

Cooler weather makes it harder to rationalize takeout, plus I enjoy cooking more at this time of year. A hot, savory meal is the perfect end to the day!

And this Curried Veggie, Chickpea, and Quinoa Stir Fry is exactly what I’ve been craving lately.

How to Make a Quinoa Stir Fry

Before you get started, make sure to prep all the ingredients for your quinoa stir fry … once you get going, things move fast!

You’ll start by sauteing the vegetables—onions, red peppers, and yellow squash (sub zucchini, if you wish)—in a hot pan. The veggies cook quickly and get browned around the edges, adding a subtle smokey flavor to the finished dish.

Next, everything gets seasoned with garlic and red curry powder (or substitute garam masala or regular curry powder), and then combined with chickpeas, quinoa, and cilantro.
