Seeking Quinoa Recipes

It's also a complete protein, helpful for vegans and vegetarians concerned about that.

Lots of good ideas here.

I usually just make it in my rice cooker, using turkey broth instead of water. I add my seasoning to the broth so it cooks it in (garlic powder is great). Eat it just like you would rice. Turns out great!

I love macaroni & cheese, but well, it's not exactly healthy. Here's a recipe I found for Quinoa Mac & Cheese - I use the prewashed kind, and tried it in the rice cooker, but it didn't work so well. I find it cooks best on the stove.

hubby calls it cheesy quinoa, because there's no macaroni. I pared it down to the basics - cup of 1% milk, 2 eggs, box of quinoa, and a small block of low-fat pepperjack cheese. Add a little sea salt and voila! Delicious!

This Quinoa Gratin is really good. Not too much cheese and pretty tasty.

bump!

We're gluten-free, so I make quinoa cupcakes -- more fiber than using refined white flour!

I love the cook book "Quinoa 365" Get it from your library and try some recipes.
Quinoa chocolate cake is amazing.....really! A bit of a pain to make, but worth it.

This is SO GOOD as a sweet treat, or for breakfast on a rainy day! (Just be wary of the sugar from the apricots and budget accordingly)
