It’s Friday lovely people! And it couldn’t come fast enough..
 
With tones of presentations to do, and papers to read, I need to kick back and relax a little. I am halfway through summer school, so the end is in sight!

So I bought quinoa for the first time. First time guys, I’m so excited!

I bought it on Monday, and I was thinking about it all week. In my classes, on the commute home, while brushing my teeth… I was thinking about how to best introduce quinoa into my life.

Should I put it in a savoury dish? How about something sweet?

And because I am most comfortable around cheese and casseroles, this Cheese and Broccoli Quinoa Casserole was the obvious thing for me to do.

Since then, I have also made another casserole: Chicken, Broccoli and Quinoa Casserole.

So now that I’ve hopped on the quinoa bandwagon, what do I think? Well I think I understand why it’s one of the ingredients bloggers go ga-ga about. I think I am going to put this casserole on my regular cycle!
