And it’s buffalo time.
Again.
What’s new?
Well, it’s quinoa AND it’s buffalo. Actually, it’s Tieghan being so predictable.
But whatever, I just don’t care anymore. It’s football season, the weather’s turning colder and I honestly could not go on one more day without sharing this one with you guys.
It’s been burning up space on my computer for way too many weeks.
Ah wait, let’s talk about my computer here for just one second.
See, I take a lot of photos. I mean A LOT. Like way more than you guys will ever see. Sometimes, no pretty much all the time, over two-hundred photos per recipe. Yeah, two-hundred.
Trust me, I have tried to take less photos and for me it just does not work. I end up with photos that are just ok, but I always wish I would have taken more. Like with these photos. I didn’t take enough, hated them all and regretted taking less than usual. Lesson learned.
Anyway, my computer?
Oh my gosh, it is so FULL.
I have zero space and my computer is running like molasses. No wait, it is more like molasses when the bottle is basically empty and you are trying to get the very last half teaspoon out.
Oh what? No else does that?
Come one. Didn’t your mothers ever teach you to use every last drop? Well, mine did and it will for every be ingrained into my brain.
So yeah, I wait the ten minutes for the very last drop. Sometimes it is torture.
The point is, I need to start getting rid of photos or just learn how to organize them better. Oh and be a smarter person and use a hard drive. Yeah, that is probably what I should do.
Enough about my computer issues, back to the food.
The creamy, cheesy, buffalo chicken quinoa.
Basically, it is like a healthier version of buffalo chicken mac and cheese. I think it is safe to call it a healthy meal. I mean, there is quinoa, baby kale (completely your choice) and broccoli (again, your choice). It’s kind of the perfect meal for everyone, even vegetarians. Just leave the chicken out and you are good to go (promise it is still going to be just as awesome minus the chicken).
Oh and it’s kind of crazy easy. Cook the quinoa, make the sauce, put um together and throw it in the oven to get all nice and bubbly. Oh it’s so good.
Nutritional information is only an estimate. The accuracy of the nutritional information for any recipe on this site is not guaranteed.
Um, I think you need this tonight. Yeah, you do!
And as for the photos, I always get rid off the ones I didn’t use because otherwise I would end up like you. And it’s a good idea to back up your photos on an external hard drive. A couple months ago my laptop hard drive died with all photos. Luckily Alex extracted them for me just before it died completely. So, lesson learnt…
Oh my gosh, I am so afraid of that happing. I need to that!
Looks amazing, Tieghan! I love bakes and casseroles, especially healthier ones wit hquinoa. Love your dishware and bakeware too.:)
Thank you!!
This sounds like the perfect meal!! So delicious. You have the best recipes – I’m thinking about making your buffalo chicken chowder for dinner tonight! Oh and these pix are amazing – you took the perfect amount 🙂
Thanks so much, Cate!! I hope you love that corn chowder!! It was a huge hit over here!
Mmmmmm….I’m so craving this right now!
Thanks Lauren! With all the rain, cool and dark days I have only been cooking comfort food!
I know I say this every time, but your food pictures just make my stomach smile in ways I didn’t know were possible. I shall pin this and it will be my dinner every day for the rest of my life… Until the next delicious thing you post. 🙂
Haha! Yes!! Thanks Krystina! I hope you love this!
Oh honey, you’re never predictable! Your love for buffalo chicken always manifests itself in the most unique ways…quinoa, spinach, buffalo chicken? Heck yes, I want that all up in my casserole dish! Love as usual, lady…love as usual.
Hehe! 🙂 You are the best!!
Thanks Julia!

Good grief, I don’t even know what to say that looks so crazy good!
Thanks Leah!
Oh my, this looks wonderful! I love all things buffalo chicken. Mmmmm!
Thanks Haley!
Totally know what you mean about taking a zillion pictures. Lately, for some reason, I’ve been able to pull it off by taking maybe ~50 or so. Definitely depends on the recipe and light! I just hate it when you wish you had taken more, haha.
On that note, these photos are GREAT! You are too hard on yourself. And this quinoa bake looks delicious as well! Love the creamy quinoa shot.
Thanks Laura!!
Oh and 50 photos? I envy you! I would have like 2 extra hours in my day!
Wow, this looks amazing! What a gorgeous dish. I can never get over your cheese-stretching photos. So awesome.
🙂
Thanks so much, Abbie!
