    I made stuffed green peppers recently with quinoa instead of rice. Only because I didn't have any rice on hand and had enough quinoa. It was tasty!

    I use it in pretty much every salad and anytime I would normally use rice. It's so good with vegetable stir fry!

    I cook lean chicken breasts on Sunday for the week, so there are a lot of juices and seasonings in the baking pan once they are finished. From there, I pour that into the quinoa and cook it that way. Adds an interesting flavor.

    We were able to have pancakes for pancake Tuesday because we made quinoa pancakes and could have substitued the white flour for brown - they were way better tasteing than regular pancakes.

    We also made stuffed quinoa and black bean peppers that were amazing - we added frank hot sauce

    Both recipes are from the internet.

    Chinese fried quinoa (basically just sub quinoa for the rice). I eat this at least once a week, if not more.
    Plain quinoa, topped with sauteed bell peppers, onion, and mushrooms.
    Add a little almond milk, garlic powder, salt/pepper, and nutritional yeast to plain quinoa.
    Quinoa cooked with curry, salt and pepper. Once cooled, add diced celery, mango, slivered almonds, and green onions (this recipe is on allrecipes. I think it's called curry mango quinoa, or something like that. It's outstanding!)

    I cut up spinach, grape tomatoes, and an avacado and mixed that with the quinoa and a small amount of garlic infused olive oil. I think I threw a little minced garlic in too. I really enjoyed it.

    I use in place of rice for just about anything... then create from there ... I've used for chicken soup - great and different flavor - so much yummier...

    Veggie stuffed banana peppers (instead of sausage)...

    Mix up some fresh spinach and mushrooms and red peppers...

    and just the other night I made a homemade gumbo and used in place of rice...

    Cooked in stock with some sauteed onion and jalepeno, add some cumin and black beans, and sprinkled with a little pepperjack cheese and topped with a fried or poached egg and fresh cilantro. Sometimes I add some diced avacado... sooooo good

    Hey everyone...just needing some quinoa ideas...what is your favorite way to eat it:) I just recently started eating vegetarian and would love some tasty quinoa recipes. Thanks a bunch

    I don't like it, it makes me sad -_- . Though I might suggest cous cous cooked with low sodium veggie stock
