    Always looking for more ideas and appreciate those that shared some good ones!:drinker:

    ETA: I've tried regular, only recently saw the red (do most use the red typically for salads only?) and now black?? What else am I missing here?!:laugh: Please share... I'm a Quinoa newbie:blushing:
    but eager to learn
    I usually cook quinoa in low sodium veggie broth (instead of water) and then add steamed or sauteed vegetables to it for a quick meal. I also made it once with peanut butter - I don't recall everything that went in it, but it was delicious! You can also get instant quinoa flakes that can be used as a breakfast cereal (of course you could also use regular quinoa, but the flakes save time, but I don't really like them). As someone else mentioned, just be sure to rinse it before cooking. Some come pre-rinsed, but not all do, so be sure to check.

    If I'm having company over then I'll sometimes prepare black quinoa with sauteed vegetables as a side dish. It's more expensive than the yellow kind, but I love the look of it...
