    Consider quinoa bites. This is just one recipe, but there are a zillion out there (also sometimes called things like "quinoa breakfast muffins" and whatnot).

    They freeze beautifully, so it's easy to make a huge batch & freeze them to thaw later.

    I make a Greek quinoa salad, sorry no recipe I just eye ball it.
    Cook one cup quinoa, add cucumber, cherry toms, calamata olives, red onion, feta cheese, and a Greek or Italian salad dressing.

    I just made some tonight - quinoa cooked in low sodium chicken broth, then added onions and green peppers - these had been cooked previously and frozen. Then I added a couple of eggs and stirred everything together before putting in the microwave for about 4 minutes to heat everything/cook the eggs. I also added some taco seasoning for more flavor, and some garlic. It was really good.

    Well my quinoa is cooking I got some's onions garlic chili powder and cumin to the water then once it's finished cooking I add lots of salsa and drained black beans all then throw a little bit of low-fat shredded cheese on it while still hot it's amazing and very filling lunch all by itself or I'll stuff it sometimes in a pepper and make it as a stuffed pepper.
