Made Quinoa tonight. SO yummy!!
My cousin and I were talking and she told me she wanted to try Quinoa and
have me make it. I had no idea what the hell she was talking about. Quinoa
is like rice, but its a seed. When it cooks it expands 4X its size. Its
suppose to be the new healthier food to eat. Quinoa is high (12%18) in
protein unlike rice and wheats and also has essential amino acids and loads
of fiber. I was hesitant in trying it because I have a hard time with
textures but was very surprise at how yummy it is! I'm thinking it would be
Great with my stuffed peppers!!

i adore quinoa! it's so yummy.
i need to try this- looks like a good texture for little ones, too!
I was going to ask you chelle If you had tried it before, I assumed you had. Do you have any recipes its especially good for?
recipes? lol i'm not so good at cooking recipes. i use it in place of rice a lot of the time. also good cooked and cooled with either egg mixed in or fruit. made salad with it with raw veg, chicken, teriyaki sauce. the only way i haven't tried it is in soup.
now i need to go buy some. mmm.
it also comes in red and black varieties. i haven't tried the black quinoa yet but the red is tasty too. yours looks like it has a sauce on it eh?
I made mine like spanish rice so there is taco seasoning and tomatoes in it.
Is there a flavor difference in the red and black? I would be willing to try them, just have to track them down first :)
