I LOVE cheese and broccoli together. However, it isn't always the healthiest. Same goes for the traditional holiday Casserole with rice, Cheez Whiz, and cream of mushroom soup... NOT healthy. So, I did some research and decided to not completely overhaul this recipe into something unrecognizable, but to make it just as delicious but eliminate the processed yuckiness. Ingredients: 1/2 medium onion, diced 1.5 cups cooked quinoa (I rinsed mine and cooked it in water, but feel free to use veggie/chicken broth for more flavor) 2 heads of broccoli or 1 lb. 1 tbsp butter or oil salt pepper 1 carton of Pacific organic cream of mushroom soup (nothing artificial!!!) 1 cup milk (I used unsweetened almond milk) 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded. ($ note: it's always less expensive to shred your own) Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a medium or large baking dish with butter or oil. 2. In a large sauce pan, heat butter and add onion. Sauté about 3 minutes or until translucent. Add chopped broccoli and sauté. Add salt and pepper to taste, about 1/2 tsp each. Cook 3-15 minutes depending on how you like your broccoli. I cooked mine longer but it still had a nice crunch. 3. Add in cream of mushroom and milk. Stir in cheddar until combined. Add in quinoa. Stir again. :) 4. Pour into baking dish and top with a little extra cheese. 5. Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes. If you decide to make this in advance and store in the fridge, wait to bake until needed and then cook at 350 for 30-40 minutes.

Where are they getting all these quinoa and where are they being farmed? Do they do it indoors? How come I don't see them around here? It's frustrating because I have a lot of meals lined up and it needs to be done. I don't know where to get enough supply of all these. It's frustrating for a transitioning vegan. Please help me. Or no, maybe I should just look for it online. I am not sure if the sources are safe though. There's a lot of chinese products which are fake and made from some form of plastic.

Finally! I saw this recipe. I am not a fan of broccoli, but when one of my aunties cooked this broccoli cheese quinoa casserole, I started to like it. At first, it is not an eye catching recipe, but the smell of this dish while it is being cooked will get your attention. I would love to try this recipe and I am so glad that I was able to find it in here. It is so perfect because it has the procedures and the process method at the same time.

I'm not sure where I'm going to obtain a sufficient supply of all of these. It's infuriating for a vegan in transition. Please assist me. Or maybe I should simply check it up on the internet. But I'm not sure if the sources are safe. There are many Chinese things that are bogus and made of some type of plastic.

Garage doors with smart technology integration allow homeowners to monitor and control their garage door remotely. Noise reduction is an important factor to consider when choosing a garage door. Insulated doors and quiet openers can minimize noise.
