Quinoa with Cauliflower and Broccoli

One-pot dishes loaded with earthy garden flavor are not only delicious and convenient, but nutritious as well. This recipe delivers all of that.

You can serve this dish by itself as a light meal, but for a more substantial repast you can add a portion of roasted chicken. Or add a cucumber salad. Simply dice fresh cucumbers and thinly slice some onions. Add a few tomato wedges and top with a bit of extra virgin olive oil and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Just like that, lunch or dinner is served.

Your Feedback:

"July's 'Watermelon sunburn cure' has prompted me to write you. It couldn't have come at a more appropriate time. After spending time at the beach with my two boys, we lost track of time and I came out looking like a lobster! I had put sunscreen on the children but forgot to lather myself! My shoulders and chest were raw, red and painful! The only thing I had on hand was watermelon. I used your remedy and it gave me instant cooling relief! Thanks Pioneer for the great tip.
