Quinoa has become one of the healthiest foods. It's high in fiber and packed with protein, it's not a grain but a seed. We have been making all kinds of quinoa recipes, made this casserole for dinner yesterday, and it was delicious.

This by far is the best quinoa recipe I have found. I have been making it for over 3 years and my entire family loves it (even kids). The only problem is it does take time to make. Try it and you won't be disappointed.
