Cheesy Quinoa...DOES NOT compare to Mac N Cheese

This may be the first time I have ever had to go out and purchase dinner because of a flop.
The pin I used compared their recipe to Macaroni and Cheese...just better for you. So, I thought, why not? Especially if it is healthier...

So, I headed to Wegman's scouring the aisles for the elusive Quinoa...of course it wasn't in a "regular" aisle...I had to go to the organic aisle...and it wasn't cheap either...

Cheesy Quinoa if you're interested...here is the recipe:

I wish I had a better outcome...but, for this girl...I just didn't like it...I will not and can not give up my Kraft Mac-n-cheese

Here are some pics though...
