I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dish turned out really dry. I think I might have added too much quinoa.

The quinoa was a bit undercooked for my taste. I would recommend cooking it for a few extra minutes.

This dish was a bit too sweet for me. I think I would have preferred it with less honey.

This dish was a great way to use up some leftover sweet potatoes. I added some chopped carrots and celery to the quinoa for extra flavor.
