Broccoli & Cheddar Quinoa




One of our favorite comfort foods is cheesy broccoli and rice casserole. I saw this and immediately ran into the kitchen to make it for lunch. This is a super quick and healthier version of comfort food. I was amazed at how delicious it was. Quinoa is becoming a go to for me in a lot of recipes. High in protein and fiber, you just can't go wrong with this quick dish!

Ingredients:

1 C         Quinoa
1 1/2  C  Water
2 C         Broccoli
1 C         Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  -            Salt & Pepper to taste.

Directions:

In a pot/sauce pan, pour in your water. Add quinoa and broccoli and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer (stirring occasionally) for about 15 minutes or until liquid is absorbed and quinoa is well cooked.
Mix in your shredded cheddar and season to taste.

So good! Enjoy!
