Hearty, earthy, and delicately flavored, this mushroom and quinoa dish is one of my favorite Weight Watchers side dish recipes. Simple to throw together, delicious to eat, and all the fiber and protein makes it a very filling side.

1 tbsp light butter
4-5 garlic cloves, minced

Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions

Cook quinoa according to package instructions; set aside.
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add in onion, garlic, mushrooms, and thyme and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes.
