Quinoa Rice Recipe off of Simple Life on TLC?

I had no idea what quinoa was, but my best friend told me about this recipe a few months ago. I live in a small town in Kansas and had NO idea where I could even buy quinoa, so she shipped me some from LA for my birthday and I made this recipe for my birthday dinner. It was FABULOUS! Hope you like it too!
