Gluten Free Coconut Chicken Curry & Quinoa

I walked into the lunch room one day only to walk into this wonderful smell of curry coming from my colleague Shannon's lunch (Shannon also has a Celiac Dog).  So I had to ask what she had and she said it was a Coconut Curry & Quinoa.  So I told her I had to have the recipe for the blog.  I wish there was smell-o-vision for this one, because it smelt great!

This is gluten free, dairy free, and vegetarian if you take out the chicken.

Shannon's lunch!  Yes, I invaded her lunch with my cell phone pic

Directions

1. Combine ingredients for curry mixture in separate bowl.
