Quinoa

Hey there!

OK I don't know if I'm the only one who hasn't tried this yet, but I made it last night and it was pretty good. I made it just like rice and then added roasted asparagus and some crumbled goat cheese. The first mouthful was like W-T-F but then I really enjoyed it and it never bothered by sleeve at, but then neither did the 2 caesars I had while we were barbecueing! LOL!

I find this post on the VSG forum and thought it might interest you too:

 I LOVE this stuff. We've been using it for about 2 years now, since I saw Michael Smith use it on Chef at Home (he pronounces it Kwenoa - lol and I still do. I can't get into the other way! My son keeps correcting me!)

I love to use it as a stir fry. Kind of like rice-a-roni. Brown it in the skillet then add the veggies and broth and let it simmer. I've also used it in couscous recipes in place of the couscous. My hubby who hates couscous love this and both of my sons prefer this to rice. 

We have been using Quinoa for a while now and it has replaced rice in our house.  You folks should also try Amaranth.  High in protein and is great as a morning cereal.  Good puffed or in seed form.  Mix it with apple juice and fruit for breakfast.

 I can't wait to eat Quinoa.  I love love love the stuff.  Mmmm....

Ok, I must be the only person who does not like Quinoa.  My hubby bought some and tried cooking it like rice. 1 cup of Quinoa to 1.5 cups of water and I put spices in and it turned out like mush.  Not tasting very good at all.

When you say rice do you mean that it is fluffy like rice, cause that I think I would like.

I tried it.........

W.T.F.   it was gross!

I was not the only person that thought so too, nobody in the family liked it! 

NOT EVEN THE DOG. 

Sorry Quinoa, it might make good traction grip!
