YUM! I have two boxes of quinoa in the pantry I should probably use up. I wonder if squash would taste good as an addition to this. lol I bought some and need to use it up!

Bump! I made a quinoa dish tonight and my husband was in shock...apparently he had never heard of quinoa before and he can't decide if he likes it or not. Hopefully this dish will change his mind! Thanks for the recipe!
