Cook your quinoa according to the package directions. Make sure you wash your quinoa before cooking! I put mine in a strainer and rinse beforehand.

Cook your broccoli! When I steam my broccoli, I like to put the broccoli and a 1/2 tablespoon of water in a microwave safe bowl, put plastic wrap over it and poke a couple holes in the plastic wrap with a knife. Then I put it in the microwave and cook it for 1 minute and 30 seconds (see pictures above).

When the quinoa is finished, in the same pot the quinoa was cooked in, put in your finely chopped broccoli, cheese, butter, salt and pepper.

Put the pot back on the burner over low heat and cover. Let the cheese and butter melt for a minute or two and stir. Quickly move the quinoa to a bowl so the quinoa doesn’t cook anymore in the pot.

Serve warm! You can store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Enjoy!:)
