Fresh Veggie Quinoa Skillet {Lawry’s Giveway Announcement}

I admit it, I have a slight obsession.  SLIGHT obsession with Quinoa.  Craving it as of late, and filling up my Pinterest Board with yummy recipes to try.  Resigned to having it prepared and in the fridge for all hours of the day – breakfast with a little milk, blueberries and pecans,  lunch stir fried with leftover steak or chicken and a few veggies, and late night pattied and fried in a little olive oil. With all of the fresh veggies in season, and getting loads of it weekly from CSA, I decided I needed a way to incorporate all those yummies into my meal rotation.  Enter Fresh Veggie Quinoa Skillet.  The warm, tender vegetables, with the slight taste of feta cheese and roasted garlic are the perfect pairing with your summer grilled meats.   You can substitute any of your favorite vegetables into the skillet, sautéing until tender.
