I am SUCH a visual snob.
I found an identical recipe that had a pic! So, I stole the pic! :laugh:
I need to use this grain sometime... I keep shying away from trying new stuff!

It's really good! No flavor, looks like fish eggs as my kids say, but you make it to taste like whatever.:bigsmile:

I really love quinoa, it's sooooo good for you.

It's about 15% protein and contains all 9 essential amino acids. Vegans/Vegetarian, this is a grain that is a true and complete source of protein!

Funny thing is, I first heard of quinoa as an ingredient in holistic dog food...but I like it better than my dog ever did.

I'll have to post a recipe I have for some Mexican quinoa soup. :bigsmile:

Thanks for the post!
