Beef and Broccoli Quinoa Dinner

Beef and Broccoli Quinoa Dinner was the perfect dinner the other night when we were in a hurry. We love Chinese food in our house. 

We are always looking for healthy alternatives to our favorite meals. This one really was the perfect thing for our family. It was so easy it only took me about 45 minutes start to finish, now that includes helping a toddler running around saying mom a million times. Beef and Broccoli is one of our favorite meals to eat, and I love rice. I know that quinoa is more healthy so this was a perfect dinner for us!
