Quinoa Taco Bowl

January 20, 2012

Anyone who knows me knows that I crave creamy comfort food. In fact, there was a point in my life that if you had asked me my favorite food it would have been a toss up between macaroni and cheese and sour cream. (And the sour cream part would have been only half joking.) I [...]

Nutty & Decadent Quinoa Bars

July 9, 2011

I almost hesitate to post this quinoa bars recipe. Not because it isn’t amazing. It is. In fact, it may be one of my favorite recipes on the entire site. The reason I hesitate to post it is because it is quite a bit indulgent. Invariably, when I post recipes with butter and/or sugar (even [...]

The Perfect Quinoa Breakfast – Baked Quinoa and Oatmeal

May 3, 2011

There is no doubt that quinoa breakfast recipes are a great way to start the day. But, up until now I’ve never been successful at getting my children on the bandwagon. The baby (Ok, he’s five but who’s counting?) always wants eggs and toast and my oldest (aka the commander) is a lot like me [...]

March 3, 2011

Lately, I’ve had a lot of people asking me for quinoa recipes easy enough to throw together after a tough day of work.

More Recipes with Quinoa – Quinoa Meatballs!

August 18, 2010

While I have to be honest and say that I don’t eat much meat (this is one reason I love cooking quinoa), the rest of my family does. While my four and five year old boys like quinoa, but they aren’t about go vegetarian any time soon. So, what better way to get them eating [...]

I have had a couple of questions lately about the proper quinoa cooking time. I think sometimes people read about all the different methods of cooking quinoa and sometimes they get confused. One challenge that people have is that there are so many different types of quinoa. Packaged quinoa that has been pre-rinsed will perform [...]

Curried Quinoa Salad – A Great Cold Quinoa Salad!

August 7, 2010

Like quinoa, curry was not something that I grew up eating. Because my mother does not care for curry, I actually never ate it until I was grown and had left home. The first time I ever had curry was at an amazing (but sadly now defunct) casual restaurant and gourmet grocery store called Eatzi’s [...]

Quinoa Fritatta

July 29, 2010

I first found the idea to make a frittata with quinoa in Oxygen magazine. It was decent, but not nearly tasty enough for me. Still, even my husband ate it so I knew I had to do some work on the recipe and try it again. I like to make a really big dish of [...]
