Age Appropriate: When on 2 meals a day you can share this meal with your baby by offering them some of the quinoa and pork.
 
* If you have time to cook the quinoa in advance and allow it to chill in the fridge for a couple of hours or overnight before cooking to serve I find this works to prevent stickiness from the quinoa
