Coffee & Quinoa | Simple, delicious, and (mostly) healthy cooking

Hi, I’m Erica!

A bit about me: I’m a lover of everything food, although I’m mostly vegetarian these days. I like eating healthy meals, but I love eating chocolate. This blog is a place where I try to balance the two.

Coffee & Quinoa

The name Coffee & Quinoa comes from two of my favorite breakfast foods. Yes, I like quinoa for breakfast! I’m a morning person, and the best part of my day is often sitting in the kitchen sipping my mug of French press coffee and eating breakfast.

Outside of the kitchen, I work full-time for a marketing company. I spend the rest of my free time running, staying fit, and traveling when I can. Some more of my favorites: reading, listening to NPR podcasts, watching the Great British Baking Show, and drinking red wine and hoppy beer.

I started this blog as a way to share what I was cooking with my family and friends when I moved across the country. I still have lots to learn about cooking, photography, and running a website. Good thing I’m loving sharing it all as I go along!
