Once I make it with pico de gallo and was not bad , also I put some in the vegetable soup ,

I use it in place of brown rice for stir fries when I need a faster meal.

I put it in Salad in a Jar.

Some really good recipes at allrecipes.com, though probably not as healthy as skinnytaste etc

I like to use it in a stir fry, in place of the rice

I like it with cucumbers,a protein source, and garlic vinegrette. yesterday it was quinoa with avocados, tomatoes, some lime juice and onions for a Guac salad.
I'll also have it with ricotta cheese and a tablespoon of spaghetti sauce - it really goes with anything!

Mmm. I like it with a little salt and pepper, or with a tsp of sesame oil.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE it for breakfast! Cinnamon, little sugar(sweetener/honey) *sigh...

I make it with wine or stock instead of water and I like to add Greek yogurt to it with a tad of cheese.

I've never tried any of these recipes, but they are an interesting idea. A lot of "quinoa bite" type of recipes on here.

This recipe rocks - http://allrecipes.com/recipe/quinoa-and-black-beans/

Cilantro and cumin are your friends... You can also throw in a can/fresh diced tomatoes or steamed spinach if you want at add even more flavors...

I'll sometimes toss in some dried cranberries or other dried fruit while it's cooking (makes a semi-sweet pilaf that's good as a side dish, especially in fall and winter).

I've used a quinoa pilaf recipe before as a stuffing for squash.

I've sometimes mixed roasted fruits and veggies in with prepared quinoa, sometimes adding cheese.

I've also added small quinoa to green salads (so that there's more green salad/other salad ingredients than quinoa).

I also have had success with adding some fresh strawberries, basil, and plain yogurt (just enough to coat a little for flavor- not enough to actually appear visible as yogurt when mixed) to quinoa as a slightly warm salad. It's the only quinoa recipe that my husband has actually liked so far.
