Toasted Quinoa and Fresh Cherries

I have been spoiled this year by my Mom's cherry trees. They have tasted amazing. I love the beautiful vibrant color of cherries too. It is such a wonderful time of year.

I had this brilliant idea last night to add fresh cherries to my quinoa. I got up and made it this morning. It was a great combination. I am going to be having this again soon. Yum! Enjoy some cherries today.
