lovely quinoa casserole

Recipe by
Janet Barry

I used a packaged Quinoa mix. When the cherry tomatoes bake-they get sweet-yum! We all loved this recipe I made up one night. Remember-simple tip to cut a basket of cherry tomatoes-place the tomatoes in a dish-cover with a same sized dish, use a serrated knife to pass through the middle, placing your hand on the top dish.
