  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 head broccoli, cut into florets
  • 1 zucchini, chopped

What I did:
  • Cook the eggs in 1 tbsp olive oil, scramble them and put aside
  • Cook the quinoa according to directions on package and put aside
  • Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium high heat. Add garlic and onion, and cook, stirring often, until onions become translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
  • Add mushrooms, broccoli and zucchini. Cook, stirring constantly, until vegetables are tender, about 6-8 minutes. 
  • Add corn, carrots and quinoa. Cook, stirring constantly, until heated through, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Add eggs and soy sauce, and gently toss to combine. Cook, stirring constantly, until heated through, about 2 minutes.
