I love the versatility of this dish. I've made it with different vegetables, different cheeses, and even different grains. It's always a hit!

I'm on a low-carb diet, so I used cauliflower rice instead of quinoa. It was a great substitute and the dish was still very tasty.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I had some leftover broccoli and carrots, and they worked perfectly in this recipe.

I'm a vegetarian, so I omitted the feta cheese. The dish was still very flavorful and satisfying.

I'm allergic to tomatoes, so I substituted them with diced cucumbers. It turned out just as good!

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my quinoa turned out mushy. I think I might have cooked it for too long.

This dish is a bit bland for my taste. I think it would be better with some additional seasoning.

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add a little more salt and pepper to taste.
