I made a cup of dry quinoa cooked in 2 cups broth/water, when it was finished 15 minutes later, I added a skimpy 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. It was simple, but changed the taste slightly enough to make it seem different than just plain.0

I love a pilaf made with onions and chopped carrots sauteed in a bit of olive oil, then add quinoa and chicken broth (to make how much you want) then add chopped walnuts when it it cooked. A great lunch. I have it as a recipe and it comes to about 300 calories for a decent sized serving.0

Love quinoa! I make cold salads all the time, no recipe just throw it together. Here are some of my favs:
- tomatoes, cucumbers, mozzarella, balsamic, basil (optional) salt & pepper to taste
- apples, sweet balsamic (or regular), dried cranberries, almonds
Let them set for about 30mins - 1 hr0 -
I have a Vegetarian Quinoa Chili Recipe but unfortunately it has quite a few ingredients. Id be happy to share that one with you.0

I eat Quinoa for breakfast every day! I make a bunch in the rice cooker at the beginning of the week. Every day I scoop out a little bit, add a splash of almond milk and nuke for 20 seconds. Then I add a packed of truvia and some cinnamon! Yum!! Perfect way to start off the day!0

I love quinoa!!!!
Lately I've been adding homemade pico de gallo to quinoa with half an avocado. The whole thing is around 4-500 calories and makes an amazing meal.0 -

I have been making a chicken veggie pilaf here lately that is super yummy
1/2 cup of dry quinoa
1 cup of reduced sodium reduced fat chicken stock
1 cup of frozen mixed veggies (the 1 I use has green beans, carrots, corn, and peas in it)
chicken breast
Add the quinoa, chicken stock, and frozen veggies in a saucepan. I also add galic and pepper to this. Bring to boil, cover and simmer about 10-15 minutes or unitl quinoa is cooked. Add chicken breast if you like to make a more rounded meal or just eat just the pilaf. Super easy and very filling. I am actually having it for lunch today but with no chicken just the pilaf.
MMmmmmmm, Sounds yummy0 -

OK you may want your quinoa a bit al dente like pasta. And so you should not mix it up with other stuff and cook longer than you should. It would become mush. Al dente is a lot tastier. So eat quinoa with your main dish such as chicken etc.
Basically for one serving, use 1/4 cup quinoa with 3/4 cup broth and bring to a boil. Lower heat and cover for 15 minutes, cut the heat and let sit for another 5. You get yourself the most delicious quinoa.0 -
Bump for later.
Great inquiry. I've been looking for ideas.0 -
I make mine as a soup with 4 cups of chicken stock, 1/2 cup of quinoa (or more if you prefer it less soupy), one can of original rotel, sliced turkey sausage, chopped kale and then add some extra chipotle pepper seasoning...it's a new favorite!!0
