COZY QUINOA CASSEROLE 7POINTS
This is from Women's Health Magazine (Jan/Feb 2007 issue). The title of the article this was included in was, "One-Pot Wonders." This sounds delish, can be modified to your liking, and can be made vegetarian by using a veggie broth/stock in place of the chicken and veggie-meat in place of the turkey, which is what I'll be doing. Healthy, filling, and yummy all around! P.S. the recipe editor thing is being weird and it keeps erasing the amount of garlic cloves...the amount is 2 cloves of garlic., not zero like the recipe ingredients indicate.
