Cheesy Broccoli Quinoa

I really love quinoa, but it is a battle to get my boys on board. This recipe has changed my husband's view on it, which is at least half way there! For this recipe I use a simple quinoa, not a tricolor or any other mix. Using 2% shredded cheddar helps keep the calorie and fat down, making this a great side for even those looking for healthy alternatives.

Ingredients:

1 cup uncooked quinoa
1 cup chopped fresh broccoli
1 cup 2% shredded cheddar
2 tsp onion powder
1 1/2 tsp ground mustard
1 tsp garlic powder

Directions:

1. Bring 2 cups water to a boil. Add quinoa and broccoli, return to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.

2. Remove from heat. Add seasonings and cheese.  Mix well and serve.
