State of Grace Roasted Tomato & Herb Quinoa Bowls

"Create a simple, weeknight bowl called State of Grace (Acoustic) Roasted-Tomato & Herb Quinoa Bowls with Lemon-Yogurt Drizzle, inspired by Taylor Swift’s ‘State of Grace (Acoustic Version).’ Vibe: quiet room, one guitar, soft red glow—bright herbs like little sparks.Core: cherry tomatoes, thin-sliced red onion, whole garlic cloves; olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper; quinoa simmered in vegetable or chicken broth; baby spinach; chopped parsley + basil; crumbled feta (optional); toasted almonds or pine nuts (optional).Drizzle: Greek yogurt, lemon zest + juice, pinch salt/pepper, splash olive oil; thin with a little water. (DF option: tahini–lemon with water.)Method: roast tomatoes/onion/garlic at 425°F, 18–22 min until blistered. Meanwhile, rinse quinoa well; simmer in broth until fluffy. Toss hot quinoa with spinach to wilt; fold in roasted tomatoes (and any pan juices), herbs, and a squeeze of lemon.Serve: in warm bowls with feta and nuts (if using), then a light lemon-yogurt drizzle; extra herbs and lemon wedges.Include: yield 4; total time ~30 minutes; exact ingredient amounts; step-by-step; seasoning cues (salt to brighten, lemon at the end).Swaps: GF by default; vegan/DF (tahini drizzle + skip feta); grain swap (couscous or farro); protein add-ins (seared shrimp, rotisserie chicken, or crispy chickpeas).Plating: ruby burst tomatoes against pearly quinoa and green herb confetti—hushed, steady, fully home-kitchen accessible"
