Cheesy Quinoa Broccoli Casserole

So I decided to try a new recipe tonight.  I was excited to make this and try it.  I really wanted to love it, but I unfortunately I didn't.  It is definitely a good choice as far as healthy eating goes, but it's not my favorite.  I think the downfall for this casserole was maybe the cheese I used... it was packaged and it did not melt the way I was hoping (and after purchasing all my ingredients I read the note at the bottom of the recipe that said this could be a problem if packaged cheese was used).  I also chose to boil the chicken, I think next time I may just use the crockpot to infuse some more flavor in the chicken, because boiling it made it very bland in taste.  I also skipped adding salt to the cheese sauce because I try to keep salt to a minimum in my cooking.  I think I will still try this recipe again, but I will add some more vegetables, like cauliflower and edamame.   I will also cook the chicken with some herbs to add more flavor.  Follow the link here for the recipe, there are also many great recipes on her website.
