    That's a good one and you can sign up to have daily recipes e-mailed to you. I think there's a free e-book somewhere on the site you can download, or at least it was free when I signed up.

    I made this recipe the other night to go with the tacos I cooked. It was SO delicious! I was scared because it was my first time making quinoa...but it was so good!

    I use Ancient Harvest it says no rinsing required so NO I don't. I would if I got in bulk or box that recommened to do so.

    I usually make curry chicken or beans(VERY high protein count on those). I also love to combine with a no salt diced tomato can and some basil and/or Italian seasoning. Makes a great soup.

    Great site! I usually make quinoa with sauteed black beans, corn, green peppers, and onions. It's great warm or cold.

    No recipes from me; however, I really like the sun dried tomato quinoa that you can get at World Market. It is delish!

    And BTW, how do you pronounce it anyway? The M-I-L and I are having an ongoing discussion about this, LOL.

    I pronounce it, "Kin Wahh" Of course, I'm from Texas, so I can't guarantee that's correct:-)

    Sounds delicious but I think I will add zucchini and yellow squash
    gonna try this, thanks!

    Here's mine:

    Garlic Mushroom Quinoa (serves 4)

    Quinoa 184 g (1cup)
    Olive Oil - Extra Virgin, 1 tbsp
    Swanson - Chicken Broth - 99% Fat Free, 2 cup
    Sliced Mushrooms, 1.5 cup (230g)
    Minced Garlic, 3 tsp (5g)
    Crumbled Goat Cheese, 1/2 cup
    Avocado Raw, 1 avocado

    I prepare the quinoa in the chicken broth (in place of using water), while the quinoa is cooking I saute the garlic and mushrooms in the olive oil. once this is done I mix the quinoa in with the mushrooms and garlic. Finally I sprinkle the goat cheese on top and slice the avocado and place on top. Each serving getting 1/4 of an avocado.

    Using the recipe builder here it comes out to 331 cal a serving. The recipe can be easily modified to include more or less avocado and feta works well too.

    I usually cook it in the rice cooker and then stir fry it with whatever vegetables and beans I've got hanging around. I've yet to have it not turn out delicious. :)
