The quinoa lunch bowl was delicious, but it was a lot of work to make. I think it would be better to make it on a weekend when I have more time.

The quinoa lunch bowl was a bit too heavy for me. I think it would be better as a dinner recipe rather than a lunch recipe.

The recipe was easy to follow, but the quinoa took longer to cook than the recipe said. I had to add extra water and cook it for an additional 10 minutes.
