Nutrition & Calorie Comments  

loved it. so basic but you can build it up based on taste. I added onion and used fat free chicken broth to cook it. I also had peppers that had to be cooked, so I chopped and added them in. I used basil and paprika for flavoring. So many options!	Submitted by: DQUEENS (10/4/12) report inappropriate
I used reduced fat feta, added oregano, dry mustard, cilantro, onion, salt, pepper, and fresh basil. I served it rolled in thin slices of deli turkey for dinner, and we loved it! It is also OK by itself when additional seasonings are added. Will definitely make again.	Submitted by: DONTGOAWAYMAD (8/21/12) report inappropriate
I loved it. I added 5-6 cherry tomatoes cut in 4 and some red onions with the feta cheese at the end! It was colorful and really tasty. I also added a handful of small shrimps to increase the amount of protein! Really good recipe!	Submitted by: POISSON_MA (6/26/12) report inappropriate
Somewhat plain unless you add a ton more feta, but then the calories would be a lot higher. Maybe I'll try some other veggies next time in addition to the spinach.	Submitted by: JAMIE_CHRISTINE (3/15/12) report inappropriate
It was a little too much garlic for me and in my opinion it needed a little salt. But I liked it. I will make it again	Submitted by: AUTUMNBRZ (2/20/12) report inappropriate
SO good! Added chopped onions to give it some more heft, and used reduced fat feta so I could add more. Yummy, will make again!	Submitted by: LSVENSSON (1/8/12) report inappropriate
Even my picky daughter liked this. I used reduced fat feta, but otherwise I didn't change a thing. Next time I will use a little more spinach.	Submitted by: KERRYFINE (1/6/12) report inappropriate
I love love love this!!! I made it several times and have started adding extras (artichokes, red bell pepper, zucchini...) and I always use fat free feta. So yummy	Submitted by: MEWIEGELE (1/3/12) report inappropriate
I like the different texture of Quinoa and the chance to get out of my eating routine. I found this a little bland. I didn't put an salt in the Quinoa, so I will try this next time along with a spiced feta.	Submitted by: RED2PIPER (12/29/11) report inappropriate
quite good. I added chicken to make this a full and more protein heavy meal for after my strength training.	Submitted by: RHIANNONTHEWOLF (12/12/11) report inappropriate
Very good! Added a bit of sea salt and some pepper and it was delicious! Thanks for sharing.	Submitted by: STEPHANIEANNE7 (9/17/11) report inappropriate
This is yummy! I love plain quinoa cooked in broth, so this was a nice change. It's filling enough to be an entire low-calorie meal if you eat enough of it. This recipe needs a little salt or broth for my taste, but otherwise it was great!	Submitted by: RIZADAMAMA (7/24/11) report inappropriate
This was good. I would double the spinach and add a little salt next time.	Submitted by: RHENRIE (6/28/11) report inappropriate
This was a great side dish. I added chopped sun dried tomatoes (not in oil). Also, a little sea salt.	Submitted by: 1NANA4EVER (5/20/11) report inappropriate
