Quinoa!

[lilmickey78 52]

Tried quinoa today. Great substitute for rice like spaghetti squash is for Pasta.

So much Protein, gluten free, Fiber, it's a superfood!!!

I made this today with some shrimp, diced tomatoes, jalepenos, garlic, pepper, and a tsp of EVOO. DELISH!

Looks great! How much quinoa is there?

[lilmickey78 52]

That's just a 1/2 cup and it really filled me up. The shrimp added additional protein!

I put quinoa in my meatloaf instead of bread.< /p>

It's kinda like rice. Cooked basically the same way. Got a nutty flavor. Basically follow the package instructions. I cook it before i add it to meatloaf.

It can be organic. It is Gluten free. Higher Protein option. And its a complete Protein.< /p>

I bought a huge bag for $8 at costco. It's really expensive at regular retail grocers. It is organic, 100% whole grain, gluten free awesomeness.

You cook it like you would rice, 1 cup quinoa to 2 cups Water, bring to rapid boil and the. Under low heat for about 15 mins. It expands so make sure you have enough space in your pot. You can cook it with chicken stock, it takes on the flavor you cook it with.

Let me know how it goes!

Alright! Found it at the farmers market and boy, 1 cup makes a lot!!! I ate it with steak and mushroom. I really like the fact that I'm getting Protein from it.

I did like it. Made me feel a little too full. May have to try a little less.
