"This is a fabulous quinoa and vegetable stovetop meal that is yummy and really healthy! I make it as is for me but then add cooked chicken to my husband's serving. An easy, satisfying one dish meal!"

This was easy and delicious. I didn't have wine so I used apple juice. I wasn't sure how much dry quinoa made 3 cups so I tried 1 1/2 cups of dry. It was too much. Next time I'll use 1 cup of dry. Made for a very colorful and healthy dinner.

Great Flavor! I added mushrooms in lieu of red peppers ( I didn't have any red peppers) I also used cooking wine (Sherry) instead of regular white wine and It turned out wonderfully! Will keep as a favorite!

This was fantastic! The only thing I changed was to add 4 cloves of minced garlic (because we LOVE garlic) and the flavor was wonderful. I didn't think there would be enough sauce for the whole dish but the moisture from the veggies combined with the butter / wine was the perfect amount. This was my first Quinoa experience and now I am hooked! Next time I think I will add a 1/2 tsp of red pepper flakes to see what happens. Thank you SaraFish for sharing!!!
