On this week's episode of Worst Golf Podcast I shared my recipe of the week. I know I did an enchilada recipe last week but thought I've been on a Mexican food flavor kick so I am doing another one. I like this one because it's done in a slow cooker, which is my preferred method of cooking during this time of the year when it's just so hot out.

I don’t think I’ve ever had quinoa, but this looks delicious.

I think this might be getting made this week. I took a two week break from Mexican flavors, and now I'm back on them.
