My quinoa journey

I decided to give Quinoa a try. I am looking for more meals without chicken and getting more protein in my diet. I was thoroughly impressed with it. This is the recipe I did:

1/2 Cup Quinoa

1 Chicken Broth

1 Can Cream of Broccoli SOup

1 Cup Sour Cream

A bit of milk

Cheddar chees...to my desire

Broccoli

I cooked the Quinoa (and rice fearing the quinoa would be nasty and knowing Jeff wouldn't want it)

Mixed the Cream of Broccoli Soup, Sour Cream, Milk and Cheese in a seperate bowl.

Added the cooked Quinoa to the soup mixture

Put broccoli on top, and pour more of the soup mixture over that and a little cheese.

Backed at 350 until it was bubbly.

It was surprisingly good. It totally took the flavor of the chicken broth and I actually preferred it over the rice. Jeff didn't try the Quinoa. I think the look alone was gross. It was a little too watered down and I'm not sure I cooked it long enough, but it was still good!!

This is when I figured it was done...it wasn't. Should have let it simmer for a bit longer, but it was still good

The two seperate dishes. yes we each got our own, no I didn't eat all of mine, but you better believe Jeff polished off his. I'm pretty sure this type of meal is his favorite of the things I make. Also because I'm pretty sure this is the kind of stuff his mom made.

I HATE dinners like this. THREE pots to clean?!?! (also, please excuse the dirty stove. I made a broccoli mess all over it.)

The finished product. Like I said, mine turned out too soupy, but seriously, still tasted amazing.
