Quinoa cakes! I made mine up as I went, but this recipe looks yummy. When I made mine, I made a spicy basil sauce with mayo, basil, lemon juice, & sriacha. It was yummy.

What I love to do is make guacamole with tomato and red onion and stuff and mix it into cooled quinoa after its cooked. Trust me it's delicious! Alternatively, hot quinoa, miz in tomato sauce with sauteed veggies. I also like to add peas and other veggies directly into the quinoa as I'm cooking it.0

This is a really delicious recipe I found a while back. It's quinoa with corn and zucchini and feta with a lemon honey vinaigrette. It is SO delicious. The vinaigrette completely transforms it. I"m not a tomato fan, but you can put those in too if you want.

Try quinoa spaghetti with meat sauce0

I use chicken stock instead of water. I use it as a filler in meatballs, soups, stuffed cabbage, with stir fried veggies. Get creative!

Quinoa loaf from PCC is AMAZING! You can get in the deli, but I have also made it using their deli recipe posted online. It's a great meatloaf substitute for vegans.

I use it in salads. I have some precooked in the Tupperware in the fridge, put a half cup on a green salad instead of croutons. or use it in a 'bowl' like Laughing Planet or such with beans and greens for lunch.0

I am digging this Chocolate Quinoa Granola that I have. No recipes but seems simple enough to make. Perfect for breakfast.
Ingredients include oats brown rice syrup, brown sugar, coconut, almonds, sesame seeds, freeze dried berries, vanilla extract, salt, baking soda. I am planning on recreated this one.0 -

I add it to a lot of things...especially soups because it sort-of thickens it a bit. One Skinnytaste.com recipe that is awesome is Crock Pot Sante Fe Chicken...seriously, this recipe is amazing (the whole family loves it)! I will add some quionoa into this at times.
Be sure to add lots of cool spices to the water you boil the quinoa in...much tastier then.
I will also quinoa to egg-drop soup in lieu of corn starch to make it "different" and to add a little more protein to this tasty low-cal soup (I use egg whites only).0 -
I made an enchilada casserole with it in my crockpot. Cooked on high 4 hours. Was delish. I found the recipe on Pinterest. Ground turkey, black beans, frozen corn, onion, garlic, canned tomatoes, enchilada sauce and season to taste with what you prefer. I used cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, pepper and just a little salt. Top with cheese & sour cream (optional). I just ate mine in a bowl with some lettuce on the side. My daughter put her's in a tortilla.0
