Quinoa Recipes - Quinoa Beef and Broccoli

I have been eating quinoa recipes as a part of my regular nutrition for a while now and I have become a little bit bored with some of the regular recipes that I have been eating. So today I decided to head to the store and look at some of the recipe packets that you see in the grocery stores.

I love beef and broccoli so I thought that I would grab a beef and broccoli seasoning packet and create my own version of this recipe by adding quinoa. I basically followed the recipe on the back of the packet but when it came time to add the ingredients, I threw in a whole batch of quinoa to go with it.

It turned out great. I love the flavor of the beef and broccoli and the quinoa filled me up fast. I could have just made the beef and broccoli and then served it on top of a pile of freshly cooked quinoa, but instead I wanted to try cooking it right in. I have to say that I like it better with the quinoa mixed in.
