Sweet Potato Quinoa

I love warm weather!  Yesterday was a perfect day, minus the sunburn because I was ouitside the whole day without the sunscreen (bike ride, walk, bike ride, frisbee, walk, and then dinner and reading a book outside).  It was wonderful, but one day I will learn to wear sunscreen.  And a warm day with plenty of exercise calls for a cooler meal, which fortunately, all of the ingredients cooked ahead with leftovers made for a chilled out meal (it is also equally delicious hot, and is prepared the same way, you just use the hot version of the quinoa, sweet potatoes and onions).  So without further ado...

Makes about 2 servings

Let all the ingredients cool if you are wanting a cool dish, if not continue to the next step.
