    I pulled this quinoa recipe off MFP earlier this year because I want to try quinoa and LOVE mac & cheese. I still haven't tried it, but hope to do so soon.

    Cooked two cups of dry quinoa with 3 cups of chicken broth. (If you're vegetarian, or don't have any, skip the broth, and just add water. Be sure to rise the lil guys off first well!)


    Let the quinoa cool for a bit. I put it in the fridge while I got the second part together.

    Chop up one leek
    Chop up one bell pepper (feel free to add more/less veggies)
    chop up and cook/strain 4 pieces of bacon (I used the real deal, but you can sub/omit)
    1 cup of soy milk (I used soy, but you can use rice/almond/real/whatever milk too!)
    2 eggs, beaten
    1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese (I used kraft cheddar with a touch of philly cream cheese)

    When Quinoa is cooled, add to the milk/egg/cheese/veggie mixture and fold in.

    Spray 9 X11 glass dish; spread mixture evenly.

    Bake at 350 for about 25-30 minutes (depending how golden brown you want it to be)

    slice into 8 pieces. 1/8th should yield about 206 calories.

    BUMP
