Zucchini Quinoa

     Wren is getting picky with her eating.  She knows what she likes and very clearly what she doesn't.  She has a stubborn streak, just like her dad!  I'm trying to keep up with giving her a lot of variety while incorporating some of the fruits and veggies that are in season.  I consulted a baby food book today for some ideas and came up with this quinoa dish.  Hopefully it doesn't end up on the floor or in our dogs' bellies.

Zucchini Quinoa
 Ingredients
1/2 cup quinoa
1 1/2 cup vegetable broth or water
1-2 medium zucchini or summer squash grated
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp cumin

Method
1. Heat a medium sauecpan over medium high heat.  Add the quinoa and one tablespoon of olive oil.  Stir to coat the quinoa.  Add the broth and bring to a boil.
2. Reduce the heat and cover the pan.  Simmer for 20 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, add the remaining olive oil to a skillet.  Heat over medium high heat.  Add the zucchini and cumin to the pan and cook for 3-5 minutes.
4. When the quinoa is done, combine with the zucchini and serve.
