Broth-Infused Quinoa

The day I got married is the day I started cooking for my husband and exploring different dishes, recipes and ways of cooking in general. I remember the first few times I made him quinoa and thinking, "Man, this stuff is so darn bland. Let me go get some hot sauce, salt, whatever..."

Then one day, I think I was making soup or something, and I needed chicken broth. As I tasted my soup to check the flavour, I remember thinking it tasted so good, so I thought of preparing my quinoa in a chicken or beef broth next time. And sure enough, it was deeeelish. 

Now, when it comes to nutritional value, the broth honestly does not add any. But when it comes to flavour, oh yeah, that's when you realize that nothing else matters. Your taste buds and whomever you prepare this for will definitely thank you.
