Quinoa Casserole:<\/span><\/u><\/b><\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/span><\/p>\n

1.5 cups\u00a0<\/a>quinoa
\n3 cups broth (chicken or vegetable)
\n1 Tablespoon olive oil
\n1\/2 teaspoon salt
\n1\/2 teaspoon cinnamon
\n1\/4 sliced or chopped almonds
\n1\/3 cup dried unsweetened cranberries
\nHandful of baby spinach
\n1 cup baby tomatoes, halved or quartered depending on size
\n1\/2 block feta cheese, crumbled<\/span><\/p>\n

Directions:<\/p>\n

Pour quinoa into the\u00a0<\/a>crockpot. Add 1
\ntablespoon of olive oil and mix it around. Add chicken or vegetable broth, the
\nsalt, and cinnamon. Stir in almonds and cranberries.<\/p>\n

Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours, or on high for 2-4. The\u00a0<\/a>quinoa is done when you can fluff it with a fork and it is tender. The liquid should be pretty well absorbed, similar to how you
\nknow rice is done.<\/p>\n

Fluff the\u00a0<\/a>quinoa with a fork, and add the baby tomatoes and feta cheese. Stir gingerly to mix. Add a large handful of baby spinach to the top of the\u00a0<\/a>crockpot,
\nand close the lid. Cook on high for about 20 minutes, or until the spinach has
\nwilted. Stir again to distribute the spinach.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
