I'm loving peanut butter quinoa for breakfast right now. I'm vegetarian so it's a perfect way for me to get some protein. 1/4 cup quinoa added to 1/2 cup of water, bring to boil then let simmer for 15 mins. Add in a tablespoon of peanut butter, a little unsweetened applesauce and a dash of cinnamon. Delish!0

I've made fried rice with quinoa instead of rice a few times.0

I like quinoa in savory recipes like people have mentioned above, but I also like to use it in desserts, sort of in the rice-pudding style.
If you like bananas, this is a good one: http://www.grouprecipes.com/50000/quinoa-and-banana-pudding.html
One serving is around 220 calories, depending on your ingredient choices.
Or if you're a coconut fan: http://www.sitesnbites.com/2011/09/26/coconut-quinoa-pudding/
I think a serving is around 230 calories.
I also really loved baked oatmeal for breakfast, and this is a nice variation on that that also uses quinoa:

I make it with some grated apple and cinnamon and prepare it like oatmeal with water. It keeps in the fridge for days and I just reheat it every morning0

I love Thai Coconut Curry Shrimp with Quinoa (could also use Tilapia, or Chicken)
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp olive or coconut oil
1 Bell Pepper ( I love pepper so I usually use a combo of red, green and orange bell peppers)
1 Onion
1 Tb Brown Sugar
1 can (14 oz) light coconut milk
1 Tb Fish sauce
1TB low sodium soy sauce
2 tsp fresh grated or minced ginger
2 cloves garlic ( I use 3 or 4)
1 tsp curry powder
2 tsp red curry paste
1/2 tsp cumin
12 -16 oz shrimp ( I use precooked, peeled and deveined to save time)
add oil to pan and sautee onions and peppers. Once veggies are soft add all other ingrediants and simmer for about 15-20 min. until coconut milk reduces a bit. Add Shrimp and simmer another 5-10 min.
I make my quinoa with FF chicken stock. I usually make 1 cup dry which is about 2 cups cooked. I then stir the cooked quinoa into the pan at serving time but you could just put the shrimp on top.0 -
I make a riff on mac and cheese using quinoa in place of the macaroni, add veggies, fat free cheddar and egg whites to bind together and bake (I do it in a muffin tin to control portion size) , or skip egg white and add almond or soy milk for a creamier version...0

Yum! I will definitely try it tonight.0 -
I have apple and cinnamon quinoa for breakfast almost everyday. I make a big batch up at the beginning of the week and then microwave some every morning and have it with cottage cheese and honey.
The recipe is here http://www.weightwatchers.com/food/rcp/RecipePage.aspx?recipeID=2499010 -

I made a few changes though - I used red quinoa, and instead of olive oil I used a basalmic vinegar! So delicioius and relatively easy.0 -
sounds good - what is the calorie/protein/carb breakdown? Have you added this recipe to the food log, and if so, is there a quick way I could find it?0
