In reply to Morgan. I haven't tried it yet but I'm betting it would freeze just fine!

I love what I’ve seen so far. Now a challenge: I have a fig tree covered with almost ripe figs. Can you help me with recipes & how to preserve them for later?
Thanks, Holly

In reply to Amanda. I haven't tried it with fresh broccoli! The thing I love about using the frozen, is that it's all chopped up into tiny pieces so there's a lot of broccoli in each bite. It's not soggy at all! If it were large chunks of broccoli, I probably wouldn't do frozen but because it's chopped, it works well. Let me know if you do try it with fresh and how it turns out. Thanks!

This looks soooo good! I wonder if you have tried with fresh broccoli? My kids aren’t much for mushy veggies-in fact they prefer raw-but when I do cook veggies I try to leave some crunch to it. Do you think if I mix in raw broccoli that it will leave some crunch?

I made this today, leaving out the flour and using Egg Beaters instead of real eggs. Also added turkey sausage crumbles and Italian spices. It was sooooo good I didn’t want to stop eating. Thanks for giving me another way to eat my beloved quinoa!

So, I made this for the first time last night and it was delicious! I’m not much of a cook, but have been trying to venture out lately and teach myself new, healthy recipes. I added chicken to this so that it could be our dinner a couple of nights this week (single mom + full time job = not much time for cooking every evening). I brought it to work this morning and the chef here tried it, and came back for seconds. This is also my first time to use quinoa. I’ve had a package of it for a month or two, and have been afraid to use it because I just don’t know what it pairs well with. This was an excellent clean, nutritious, and quick dinner (and lunch!). Thanks so much for posting!

In reply to Jeanne. Hi Jeanne! Measure the quinoa after it's already been cooked. I usually cook a big batch and keep a tupperware in my fridge of cooked quinoa to add to recipes. Thanks for the comment!

Looks yummy. Want to try but have a quick question. Do you measure the quinoa when it is raw or cooked?
Many thanks!

I am NEVER ready for the holiday until the night before!! Luckily we don’t host Easter and my kids don’t have the crazy expectations they do for other holidays – lol 🙂 LOVE this casserole and I know it would have been a hit at our Easter celebration! Pinning!

Yes! I kid you not when I say I have been searching for this recipe…I had a tub of cottage cheese I wanted to use in a casserole but was disappointed by my searches. So happy that you shared this for the challenge this week 😉
