Quinoa with Broccoli and Carrots

Holy mother of yummy!

1 1/2 cup Quinoa (rinse well before cooking)
1 can of chicken broth (low sodium)
1 cup water
3 carrots chopped
2 cups broccoli
pinch of Kosher salt
1 tsp of olive oil
Fresh ground pepper
1/4 cup (or less) fresh grated Parmesan cheese

Bring water and broth to a boil. Toss in the rinsed Quinoa and cover. Let this cook for about 10 minutes or until Quinoa is tender (not mushy). Once cooked strain. Put Quinoa back in casserole dish.
Steam carrots and broccoli separately. Add steamed carrots and broccoli to crock pot and fold in with Qunioa. Add a pinch of Kosher salt, pinch of fresh ground pepper, splash of olive oil. Fold in Parmesan cheese. Cover and let stand. Serve warm.
