	LilyBear Very good! 1 months, 4 weeks, 7 hours, 49 minutes ago
	Mymerlot Very good. Used smoked Gouda instead of cheddar on second batch... Was great! 3 months, 1 days, 14 hours, 32 minutes ago
	Minerva79 This was a great addition to my 'Meatless Monday' endeavors! My hubby AND my 2 yr. old liked it. I loved it! It has made the rotation! I added about 3 cups of broccoli to it, but other than that I really didn't change a thing about the recipe. I served it with fruit and the whole meal was a hit. THANK YOU for sharing!!! 3 months, 2 weeks, 1 days, 6 hours, 32 minutes ago
	Bridget1200 I cooked the quinoa in chicken stock, added heaps of veggies (mushrooms, snap peas, tomatoes, fresh baby corn, carrots and broccoli) I also sautéd some salami and olives with onions & garlic and used smoked paprika 5 months, 1 weeks, 4 days, 10 hours, 35 minutes ago
	Ammunro Delish! A great vegetarian dinner option. Both my husband and I enjoyed it a lot. I subbed a 1/2 cup of quinoa for some lentils and will add mushrooms next time. Yum! 6 months, 3 weeks, 2 days, 1 hours, ago
	JenHanson I liked but the husband and child did not :( 9 months, 1 weeks, 5 days, 19 hours, 50 minutes ago
	punkiejam This was my first time cooking quinoa, and it turned out great. I've made it twice already! 9 months, 3 weeks, 2 days, 16 hours, 49 minutes ago
	Dawgluver This was very good and quite filling. First time using quinoa, will definitely do it again! 1 years, 3 weeks, 1 days, 5 hours, 13 minutes ago
	tashar21 This was fun to make, I didn't have a fine strainer so I'll need to make a trip to the store for the next quinoa dish. 1 years, 1 months, 3 days, 15 hours, 24 minutes ago
	Susanisham Excellent blend of flavors. I added mushrooms & some Tony Chachere's & cooked the quinoa in chicken stock! Mr Picky gave it 2 thumbs up!!! That's really something! 1 years, 1 months, 2 weeks, 1 days, 20 hours, 53 minutes ago
	BeccaWecca Great idea for a casserole. I used a box quinoa/wild rice mix with cilantro flavor, which worked out to be half the amount needed for the recipe. I kept the broccoli at the full 2 cups but cut everything else in half - it came out great! I will definitely make this again and experiment with different ingredients for variety. 1 years, 1 months, 2 weeks, 5 days, 1 hours, 30 minutes ago
	Brbess26 Great recipe! I used asparagus and mushrooms instead of broccoli (that's what I had on hand) and it was great. Served it with pork tenderloin and everyone enjoyed it! 1 years, 2 months, 2 weeks, 3 days, 1 hours, 6 minutes ago
	Kymom46 Never cooked quinoa before, but this was awesome! A definite keeper. 1 years, 3 months, 2 weeks, 6 days, 7 hours, 41 minutes ago
	AZClaire I love this receipe! I printed a copy in May, 2010 and use it every month or so. I always add some flesh to it (pulled pork makes it especially yummy!) and use it as the main entre adding a salad and some other veggie on the side. Some of the other reviews have given mr a whole new set of ingredients to try - goody. 1 years, 3 months, 3 weeks, 5 days, 3 hours, 49 minutes ago
