4 cups water
1 Tablespoon Better than Bouillon Vegetable Stock or use any regular broth/stock instead of the water above
2 cups quinoa
12 ounce bag frozen green beans that you steam in bag
¼ cup pine nuts
2 Tablespoon olive oil
8 ounce crimini or baby bella mushrooms (sliced)
½ bunch swiss chard (separate stems & leaves, chopped)
1 clove garlic (minced or chopped)
1+ cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
nurtitional yeast

Fill a pot with water. Once water is heated a bit, add veggie base. Bring to a boil. Once boiling, add the quinoa, bring heat to low, and cover. Let cook for 12-15 minutes. Open lid and fluff with a fork. All liquid should be absorbed.
Meanwhile, steam green beans in microwave according to directions on bag.
Heat a medium pan/skillet to medium heat. Add pine nuts and toast in the pan, stirring frequently. Remove from heat when lightly browned, probably after 5 mins. Place in small bowl for now.
In the same pan/skillet, heat the olive oil on medium. Add mushrooms, chard stems and garlic. Cook 5 mins, stirring frequently. Then add green beans, chard leaves, tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Cook 3 mins, stirring frequently. Mix in pine nuts.

Serve quinoa either with veggie mix atop or mixed in. Sprinkle with nutritional yeast.
