I was looking for a quick one pot meal with quinoa and came upon a recipe that I could change a little bit to fit what I wanted. This ended up being really easy prep and quite tasty. It was so filling and Bill didn't even mention that it didn't have meat! Definitely will make this again when I'm looking to whip up something quick with what I have in the house!
