Tip for steel cut oats - soak them over night and microwave them! I've been struggling to eat them because they just didn't seem to cook enough, but last night I soaked a 1/4 cup in 1/2 cup of water - by morning they had absorbed most of the water and plumped up - I just popped them in the microwave with some diced apple and some cinnamon and they were MUCH better than my stove top attempts.0

For Quinoa, I love it with shredded chicken breast, avocado, tomato, cucumber and feta. Usually top it with oil and vinager dressing.
For my Steel cut oats, I cook them and near the end add liquid egg whites, raisins, cinamon and vanilla extract.
For greek yogurt - I eat it as is with some Kashi go Lean crunch on top and fruit mixed in. My fave is to let a mix of frozen peaches and raspberries defrost and mix that in. I have greek yogurt daily.0 -
I cooked mine in just water incase I wanted to incorporate it into different recipes. I usually eat mine cold with honey & cinnamon or raspberry agave nectar.0

The recipes I have seen for Quinoa all seem to be like pasta salads. They are all delicious. But I think you use it like pasta.0

Greek Yogurt w 1/2 cup Kashi GoLean & 1/2 cup bluberries...mixed together..great FILLING breakfast!!
Trader Joes makes already cooked, steel cut oats in a frozen microwavable pouch. 2 indivivual servings in each box. 3 minutes in the microwave....doesnt get much easier than that!!
For instant oats, (no sugar)...1/2 cup oats in 1 cup water. Put in blender bottle (GNC) & put in refrigerator before bed. Leave overnight, in the morning add 2 scoops of protein powder & shake. Looks a bit funky, but a perfect breakfast before heading to the gym!!
Thanks for the quinoa tips, everyone!!0 -
I actually just bought some quinoa yesterday at the store...now I've got a few ideas, thanks!!!0

Be sure to rinse the quinoa really well in a strainer before you cook it. This will alleviate the bitterness. I like to cook it in chicken broth, then add curry and garlic. But you can experiement. Use it in place of rice or potato. Have fun!0
