Cheesy Quinoa Bowls

On days when I don't have a dinner planned, I like to take some time to look at what's in the pantry and fridge. Oftentimes some of the best meals come out of these nights, and tonight's dinner is no exception.

Cheesy Quinoa Bowls
- 1 cup quinoa, prepared as per instructions
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 onion, diced
- 1 stalk celery, diced
- 2 carrots, diced
- 1 head of broccoli, chopped
- 1 can of chickpeas, drained
- 1 cup chopped kale
- 1 cup shredded old cheddar cheese
- 1/3 cup almond milk

Rinse and prepare quinoa, using vegetable stock if you have it for extra flavour.

Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in large skillet. Add onion, celery and carrot, sauteeing until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in broccoli and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Season with sea salt and pepper. Add chickpeas and kale and cook until kale is starting to wilt. Slowly stir in quinoa. Once fully incorporated, start to add cheddar cheese and almond milk, stirring until cheese is melted.
