Recipes for Quinoa

[merithyn]

Today I bought a pound of quinoa from the local food co-op because I heard that it's supposed to be some kind of wonder food, especially for dieters. (Filling, healthy, and chock full of protein.) The only problem is that I've only ever cooked quinoa once - 15 years ago. I need recipes.

Suggestions?

There are too many vowels in that word.

What is that, some sort of fad ethnic food?  Barf.

Quinoa

Quinoa (pron.: /ˈkiːnwɑː/ or /kɨˈnoʊ.ə/, Spanish: quinua, from Quechua: kinwa), a species of goosefoot (Chenopodium), is a grain-like crop grown primarily for its edible seeds. It is a pseudocereal rather than a true cereal, or grain, as it is not a member of the true grass family. As a chenopod, quinoa is closely related to species such as beets, spinach and tumbleweeds.

My kids don't play soccer!

Besides, a girl can only eat so much Special K. I'm about done with that stuff.

Tall, wears a uniform, AND metrosexual. You're so dreamy.

I'm not metrosexual...they just sometimes have good decorating and cooking ideas.

It's a well known scientific fact that anybody that tall AND that thin is a metrosexual.

What's your excuse? You're neither tall nor thin.

Tall I may be, but thin?  Even at my height, 267 lbs is not thin.
