Cheesy Broccoli Quinoa
From: Kevin Lynch @ ww.closetcooking.com
One of my favorite side dishes has to be cheesy broccoli rice which is a quick and easy dish where with the amazing broccoli and cheddar cheese flavor combo! Ever since I discovered quinoa I have been trying my favorite rice dishes with the rice replaced with the healthier quinoa and it was finally time to try a cheesy broccoli quinoa! This dish is super easy to make and you pretty much just cook the quinoa with the broccoli and then mix in the cheese once the quinoa and broccoli are cooked. Some of the things that I like about this recipe are that it is a one pot dish and that it is a stove top dish which is great for holiday dinners where there never seems to be enough oven space or time. I think I now have a new favorite side dish!

1 cup quinoa, well rinsed
