Simple Savory Quinoa

Simple Savory Quinoa

A savory quinoa recipe that’s tasty yet simple with carrots, celery, onions, and quinoa. I always cut my veggies really small, more like mincing, because I don’t like chunky veggies. It is optional to cut this small. This would probably taste great with rice as well.
