eazy cheezy quinoa

I mean how can you not love Nutritional Yeast-covered, fluffy Quinoa?

I use this recipe in a variety of ways, but my fav has got to be as a Meal Building base in Romaine Salads. Holy toledo the nutty cheezy Quinoa makes a salad oh so comforting. Another great option is to use this as a structure for a tasty Quinoa Bowl.

But don’t let these suggestions limit your creativity. Whip up a batch and experiment away!
