I love the quinoa, with veggies and grilled chicken. I have been adding more quinoa since my doctor has me eliminating wheat. I need to build up my recipe box with recipes like this one. Thanks for the share.
Very yummy and versatile recipe. I added about 3 tbsp cilantro and 1 tbsp basil. My broth was not very salty so I also added some salt and a can of chick peas. I think any combo of vegies you like would taste good in this. I added fresh tomatoes at the end when I added my herbs for a nice fresh pop though green peas would work too.
Can you freeze this?
To be honest, I have never tried. I wouldn’t see why not. Let me know how it turns out. 🙂
Amanda, I would love to try the crockpot quinoa and vegetables recipe but there doesn’t appear to be a link to the actual recipe. All I get is a very yummy looking photo. II am newly subscribed. Am I missing something?
Hi Judi, We were having some technical issues earlier, but they should be all resolved now. Try again and the recipe should be there. Sorry for the difficulty.
This is really tasty! It’s simple, cheap, healthy, and easily modifiable. I used basil and an orange pepper instead of red, plus I didn’t have any carrots (sadly) and it still worked out beautifully. Thank you for having the option to change it to one serving – I’m single and always accidentally make too much food for myself, but this was a perfect portion.
