Yeah Tabitha – it’s not a method I’ve tried…

Not too sure about the coffee pot method? Did it actually work? It’s like rice, it has to have time to absorb the water in order to fluff up ~ I think you’d just have a pot of really horrible ‘coffee’ LOL

I was told you can cook Quinoa in the coffee pot. Just put 1 cup Quinoa in the pot and put 2 cups water through the coffeemaker. Works great.

For Shiritake noodles, go to miraclenoodle.com They are like tofu in so much as they have no flavor of their own and take on the flavor of the dish you prepare them in, but have a much better texture that is very similar to real pasta.

I have been cooking with quinoa for about 2 months now. I LOVE IT! I have used so many recipes from this site. Banana bread….OMG yummy, salads, side dishes….all of them are great. Haven't tried a smoothie yet……not too sure on this one, but willing to try. Thanks Wendy for all your great recipes and insight. My husband and I are quinoa lovers!!

I had my first Quinoa tonight because I had heard it was good for me. Well, it wasn't too bad. I cooked it like rice because I really wanted to see what it tasted like without other foods. Can someone give me some easy recipes for one serving or so?

We tried the Shiritake in a stir fry for the first time the other night and it was really good. The kids didn't realize that they weren't "real noodles" until I made the mistake of telling my 9 year old as she was half way through her plate…then of course she wouldn't finish. I will sneak them in again though. Even my unadventerous hubby thought they were decent. I used pork, fresh broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots, fresh garlic and teriyaki sauce. The Shiritake I put in last so that it didn't get mushy (don't know if it would have or not…but why chance it!). At first the kids were asking when the Chinese delivery guy showed up and how they missed him!

Ok, a little OT, but I had to add a comment!

Marty – I am actually with you on this one. I suppose I could FIND a way to like them but right now it seems like too much of a struggle for the benefit. Sort of like tofu – I know people love it but I don't so why bother when there are other healthy options out there.

I am just now discovering quinoi. It is amazing. The Shiritake noodles are "ok"… I think in a stir fry they would be great, but I was trying to substitute for pasta and it wasn't bad, but it wasn't pasta. You can get them at any Asian food store in the refrigerated section. They are in a bag with liquid. They are made from yam flour. I still have some in the refrigerator, but haven't eaten them since that 1st time. Good luck with them! And if you find a great way to prepare them, please share.
