I'm looking forward to trying quinoa,
I like brown rice and wondering if it would be a healthier option with my meals where the brown rice would make up a large portion of the meal.
I know there is much more to quinoa than just replacing the rice but i think i might be eating to much rice and that it would be a good way to try it. ?

    I like the both for different purposes. Quioa's a great way to get protein, but I also like making "fried" rice with brown rice. Quinoa's a lot of fun to experiment with, though, I've made Quinoa "risotto", Mexican style quinoa with chicken and veggies (and spices). Have fun playing around with both of those foods!
