One-Pot Italian Quinoa

It is an easy one-pot meal– the Diced tomatoes with herbs flavor the pot while saving you the trouble of buying and prepping fresh herbs. The cheesey ooey-gooey topping, needs to be made using an oven-safe skillet. And speaking of leftovers; they hold up well and reheat beautifully, making them a great take-to-work lunch.

Thank you so much Holly Sheehan for agaeing your scrumptious pics with us
