Being a foodie, eating out can be challenging. There are very few times that I really enjoy my dinner. That’s one of the reasons we stopped eating out so often. The cost is high but the food quality is low. So when I create a “copycat” recipe you know it’s a good one. Which, not only saves you money but helps you provide your family with good food.

How to Make Copycat True Food Kitchen Quinoa Teriyaki Chicken Bowl

Have you ever purchased and tried the frozen chicken teriyaki bowls at your grocery store? They’re okay in a pinch but hold nothing to this homemade version. You can substitute store-bought teriyaki sauces, but please do me a favor. The first time you make this recipe (I know there will be many times in the future) please make the homemade teriyaki sauce version. The sauce is not a spicy sauce. To add a little spice, add chopped red peppers.

MY FAVORITE SUGAR FREE ITEMS

BROWN SUGAR: Swerve is by far my favorite sugar substitute. The brown sugar has an incredible flavor.
SUGAR FREE HONEY: I’ve tried the cheap grocery store sugar free honey. There is no honey flavor in them at all. While the texture is there the flavor is not. WHOLESOME YUM ZERO HONEY SUBSTITUTE (not an affiliate link) IS MY FAVORITE SUGAR FREE HONEY.

What is Quinoa?

Some nutrition facts about quinoa. Quinoa is considered to be one of the “ancient grains” (even though it is a cereal), high in antioxidants, gluten free, complete protein source and essential amino acids. These are just a small portion of how you can benefit from eating quinoa. I love the different colors with red quinoa.
