Red Quinoa

I'm not sure if this is helpful, but I use it almost anytime I want to use rice. I cook it in reduced sodium chicken or veggie broth NOT water. It absorbs the flavor. If you're worried about calories but not sodium, try a bullion cube or chicken base (sold in a jar) for flavor. It might even soak up beef flavor though I've never tried it. You can even toss in red onions or green/red peppers, and cook it all down together. Then eat it with just about anything. Stir fry, beans, fish, veggies, or one of those tomato-feta cheese "rice" cold salads. For a Mexican themed night, throw in cilantro and just eat it like rice. I've even mixed it with meat and made baked stuffed peppers. I hope this helps.

breakfast : one cup quinoa, a drop of honey, stevia or agave syrup, cinnamon, one tbs crushed walnuts. yummy
