Quinoa Pilaf

I’m so excited to add this recipe to my collection because I had it last week at a great restaurant my husband and I go to a lot. It’s seasonal on their menu so it’s not always out! I emailed the manager the very next day and she wrote back with the recipe!! How exciting! This part is only half of the recipe, I wanted to post it seperatly because I also think that it’s a great side dish with anything as well. See Stuffed Acorn Squash w/Root Veggies & Chicken (coming soon) to see the whole recipe. Click Here for detailed pictures of the Quinoa Pilaf.
