Join the discussionI am all about quinoa anything these days – I love all of the fun summer flavors in this version!SO great to meet you this week girl! I had a blast 🙂
This was tasty fresh, but we weren’t impressed with it at all after being frozen. It got watery and took on a very “off” taste. Not one I’d recommend for freezer cooking.
Hi Laura! We’re sorry to hear you weren’t a fan of this recipe. You are right – freezing veggies does sometimes change the taste/texture. Hope you find a better fit next time!
