About a year ago I was introduced to Quinoa. And I didn't really love it. It was served plain with no seasonings... or anything. I decided to give it another try and I loved it! I made this Cheesy Broccoli Quinoa Casserole and Quinoa Chili. Both are amazing!!!!

1 1/2 cups quinoa, uncooked
2 crowns of broccoli, cut into small florets
2 Tablespoons of butter
3 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 small yellow onion, diced
2 cups skim milk
1 clove garlic, minced
1 Tbsp spicy brown mustard
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
Salt and pepper, to taste
8 oz. sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

Preheat oven to 400 degrees In a medium sauce pan, cook the quinoa in water according to package directions and then set aside. In a pot, add some water and bring to a boil. Place the broccoli with the pot...
