Recipes for Quinoa

Last one.

Don't care for it, eh?

Made a quinoa pudding tonight. I really liked it. Recipe is as follows. I made it up as I went, so measurements are approximate:

1 c Quinoa
1 T vegetable oil
1 c water
1 c milk
1 t vanilla
1 t ground cinnamon
2 T sugar

Rinse quinoa thoroughly for two minutes. Heat oil in sauce pan over medium-high heat. Add quinoa to saucepan and cook, stirring often, for about 10 minutes. Add water, milk, and vanilla. Bring to boil, lower heat to low, cover, and let simmer for about 30 minutes or until it's the consistency you want. Remove from heat and add cinnamon and sugar. Stir well, serve hot.

I loved it. Max and Riley were kind of "eh" about it. For breakfast tomorrow, I'm going to make some of the red quinoa mixed with the white mixed with dried bananas. Omnomnomnom!

We've cooked with quinoa before.  I thought it was ok but it's not something I ever crave or anything like that.

Congrats, you made an oatmeal like substance. Congrats.

No shit.  I want to eat something like that, I'll let my Honey Nut Cheerios sit in milk for 5 minutes first.

Meri you treat it like you would rice. Most of it just jacks up your blood sugar via the heavy carb load but it has a (meagre) whole amino acid profile going for it. As to whether it's some sort of wonder food, eh, it's better than almost all of the "food" sold wrapped in a box in the middle aisels of your local supermarket.

I would just concentrate on eating mostly meat and vegetables drenched in real butter/olive oil/animal fat when I'm hungry with no snacking inbetween. Comes to about 2 large meals a day.

Take one cup of quinoa and four ounces of vodka.  Pour the vodka over ice, and throw the quinoa in the trash.  Serve.
