ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to try quinoa. I heard it is a low calorie alternative to pasta but never knew excatly what to do with it. I look forward to finally trying quinoa with your recipe.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds delicious! I can't wait to try it!
ReplyDeleteOh Debbi, this sounds fantastic. I love the sunflower seeds tucked into the dish, especially. I definitely want to make some soon. I'm so glad that you shared this with BSI:Lemons this week :D
ReplyDeleteThis looks so wonderful! I love quinoa and the addition of lemon with broccoli is perfect.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds really good, and healthy too!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds very tasty! Is a full recipe with instructions for making it available?
ReplyDeleteOh no, I had no idea there were no instructions! I'll look them up and put them in there, I wonder if I accidently deleted them? Sorry about that!
ReplyDeleteI've only tried quinoa once. I need to give it another chance. This looks like a great recipe to try.
ReplyDeleteI need to give quinoa another try and this looks like a good recipe for it. Thanks for linking up.
ReplyDeleteI want to make this tomorrow, but I need some directions. :) Is everything cooked together and served as a hot dish? Is the quinoa cooked in the liquid, then cooled and served with everything else raw as a salad?
ReplyDeleteThanks for adding the directions! :)
