Doctored up Costco Quinoa Salad

I'm not a fan of this salad alone, but after I added a bunch of stuff, it turned out great...one of my favorites.  In fact, I took this on our last girls week in Tucson, and the ladies loooved it.  It's also one of the few salads that Dad will eat. You can add or subtract anything you like or don't like and it will still be great!

1 Costco Quinoa salad (found in the lower refrigerated cases by the chicken)
1 bunch curly kale chopped
1 bunch cilantro
1/4 finely chopped red onion
1 avocado chopped
juice of 1 lime
1 can rinsed and drained black beans
salt
pepper
you can add more chopped cucumber and tomatoes if you like.

YUMMMMM

3 Ingredient No Bake Peanut Butter Oat Squares (gluten free)

I'm starting to collect gluten free and non-cane sugar recipes since Emilie and Aubrey both are eating this way now.  This is the very first actual recipe in the collection (although I probably have others that fit the bill)

makes 20 squares in an 9x9 pan

1 c. natural peanut butter (although any kind will do)
1/2 c. honey
3 c. rolled oats (you may need more)

Line a 9x9 pan with foil.  Spray lightly with non-stick spray.
Melt the peanut butter and honey together until smooth, either in the microwave or stove top.  Combine mixture with the oats.
Press into prepared pan.  Place in refrigerator until set.  Cut into squares.

I like to store mine in the refrigerator because they can get a bit soft.  I might try adding a little more oatmeal to see if that will make them a little firmer.
