I saw quinoa at costco recently and thought it looked interesting. I decided to try it tonight for dinner. I made Rachel Ray's roasted garlic, rosemary lemon chicken and made a small batch of the quinoa. I added a little butter and chopped green onion to it and then spooned some of the sauce from the chicken dish onto it. Wow..the two complimented each other so nicely.
I like that quinoa is nutritionally a full protien..so my next attempt will be to make it for a breakfast with a little honey or brown sugar.
I enjoyed the nutty taste of it.
I spent $26 today to restock perishables like fruit, milk, etc. I have ample left overs for a meal tomorrow. I still have a bowl of oatmeal left and sandwich makings at work...so tomorrow is all set.
I am very ready for vacation...it is two weeks away. I went waaay too long from my last week off (June 2011)...I wont do that again next year. Im feeling burned out. No bueno. A day here and there just doesnt do it.
Life is good, but Im tired. :/

A good place to get it is Amazon through the subscribe and save option. You do get a lot of it, but if you really like it ...

I tried to insert a link, but the system didn't like it. go to cooking light dot com and search for quinoa.
There are also some great ideas in the July Cooking Light (I borrowed it from the gym.) They are all meant to be individual servings... like a quick lunch. My favorite was to mix 2/3 c. quinoa with 1/2 c. cherry tomatoes, 1/4 avocado (sliced),3 T. fresh cilantro and a teaspoon of olive oil. They had me at "avocado."
