Quinoa Recipes?!

Tinkaboo

Ok, So my personal trainer has told me to try quinoa as it's supposed to be a much healthier alternative to pasta or rice, so i've bought some!

Soooo... the problem is I just don't like the look of it and have no idea what to do with it! Obviously it says on the packet how to cook it etc so that's no problem. But what do I put with it to make it taste nice?

Any tips or recipes anyone can give me would be very much appreciated.

Hi Tinks!

You cook it like rice, whatever liquid you cook it in, the quinoa will take on that flavour. I am doing it tonight with a chicken stirfry.

It's tasty - you'll love it!!

I'm not the greatest cook and am kinda simple so I just put some pepper on it and call it done.

I don't know if you have a trader joes near you, but on the back to their quinoa box, is a REALLY yummy recipe for a quinoa salad. Maybe try and google it, and I am sure you can find it. It's got like avocado and beans and some other stuff in it.
