Quinoa with Black Beans and Corn

My new favorite food to make is quinoa. I made this recipe that I found on my friend's blog yesterday, with a bit of my own spin on it. It was so, so good!

Critique

I did not have vegetable broth, so I used chicken stock instead, and was not disappointed! I also proportionally increased the amount of stock and quinoa a bit. When it was finished cooking I topped it with shredded cheddar and a fresh diced Roma Tomato, in addition to the fresh cilantro. Cheddar really does make everything better (I was not paid to say that). The tomato gave it an extra pop, that was unexpected, but I don't think I could live without.



Next time I may add a dollop of sour cream or Fage plain greek yogurt. If I had to do it over I would just double the recipe. I recommend doubling it, if it will be the main dish, or if you have more than 2 adults eating it.
