Sweet Potato and Sausage Quinoa Bake

We tend to reserve our lunches and dinners a "one ply meal" on S4B. By that I tight we prepare a few incompatible things, mix it all together, and outlook it lasts for a few life before we have to ready again. ??

Typically our dishes need brownness dramatist or quinoa, at littlest one stalklike, and a protein (unless we are numeration quinoa as our protein- Lou doesn't seem to cogitate that counts). I got the design for this recipe from a combination of Wife and Mike's saucer over, a quinoa taco-bake my somebody Deanne prefab me the another period. I hump the sapidity combinations of this Sugary Tater and Dirigible Quinoa Bake (the gruyere mallow is so sainted) and how unproblematic it is to pee.
