the best cranberry pecan quinoa

I usually cook at least one semi-legit dinner each week. Most nights I simply throw something really basic together that doesn’t require much thought, but last week I was trying out this new chicken + mushroom dish and I had a hard time trying to decide on another side. I was already roasting some brussels sprouts and I needed something else. So I literally went to my pantry and just kind of looked… saw some quinoa, saw some pecans sitting next to it and was inspired.
