Mixed Vegetables with Quinoa

Mixed Vegetables with Quinoa

• 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
• 1 1/4 c water
• 1 c quinoa
• Red pepper flakes, to taste
• Granulated garlic, to taste
  
• Mustard, to taste
  

1. Place the frozen vegetables in a small boiler and cover them with water. Bring to a boil, cover, and let simmer.
2. Bring 1 1 /4 c water to boil in a separate boiler. Add in 1 c of quinoa. Cover and let simmer for approximately 10 minutes.
3. Once the quinoa has thickened, add in the red pepper, garlic, and mustard. Blend well.
4. Combine the vegetables with 1/4 c cooked quinoa and serve.

This is a wonderful vegetarian comfort food. If you desire a cooler dish, serve the vegetables and quinoa cold with mixed lettuce and a dab of all-natural honey mustard dressing.

Always remember, you can have fun, eat great, and stay healthy all at the same time! :)
