Love quinoa!! I usually just use a low sodium broth and use 2 cups broth to 1 cup quinoa. My husband LOVES it this way too!

I've made both of these recipes and really liked them:
Tasty Pumpkin Quinoa Salad - this one is really filling
Cheesy Quinoa Cakes with Spicy Lemon Aioli

I eat quinoa pretty much every night. It's so versatile and easy to make! DamnDelicious.net has TONS of great recipes (I'll post my favorites below). I'm vegan so I'm sorry that I won't have any suggestions if you are a meat/dairy eater!

Here are some of my menu staples:
One Pan Mexican Quinoa:

Quinoa Stuffed Peppers (I alter this a tad but it's pretty much the same recipe):

Quinoa Tacos (SWEET MOTHER OF GOODNESS these are good):

Quinoa Sloppy Joes (I made this recipe up so I don't have a link - but PM me if you want the recipe).

California Quinoa Salad:

Quinoa Fried "Rice":

I never make it with water 'cause that makes it taste pretty bland [in my opinion]. I usually do 1c. quinoa to 2c. vegetable broth (or whatever broth you want).

Two that are in our rotation are:

Chicken Quinoa Enchilada casserole: http://damndelicious.net/2014/07/07/quinoa-enchilada-casserole/

Bison Quinoa Hash - Basically, prepare 1 cup dry quinoa, as per package - Set aside. Sautee 1 lb ground bison with onions and red bell pepper. Add favorite taco seasoning to taste and some water. Bring to a boil then simmer. Add a can of kidney beans. Mix the quinoa in, and top with chopped green onion, cilantro, avocado, tomato (whatever you like), plus some mexican cheese. I put a little cholula on there and I am good to go. My husband loves this dish too. Sometimes i put some brown rice in there as well to mix it up. I stole it from a healthy take out place we have where I live.

I use a sprouted rice quinoa blend from costco and make up stir frys. Check out my recipe for low cal coconut shrimp in "recipes". You just add the cooked quinoa at the end when you put the peas in. Soooooo good!!!

I'm a pretty good cook, but I've always failed with qinoa. Comes out wet and mushy. I still have some in the pantry. These recipes have inspired me to give it another try.
