I have never tried quinoa and have no idea what it goes best with but it sounds like something good to add to my diet and be a little more creative with my grains. Are there any easy yet delicious recipes with quinoa that you can suggest? or are there any other "superfoods" that you really like to cook with?

I like Quinoa better than brown rice, you can do so much with it... I've put it in salads, pancakes,etc... Or simply, I mix in veggies for a pilaf type dish!

A favorite cookie at my house:

Quinoa is one of my favorite recipes. I did a post on AH a few months ago on how to cook quinoa. Here is the link

I also have a ton of different recipes on my blog for quinoa. This is my all time favorite...Fresh Caprese Quinoa Salad. NOM!

I was wondering the same thing when I came across your questions! I came across this website, http://www.quinoarecipes.com/quinoa-nutrition/, but am still interested in some additional recipes!

I like to make quinoa on the stove in a pot with a 1:2 ratio. 1 part quinoa to 2 parts liquid. I usually make 1 cup of dried quinoa and 2 cups liquid. I like to use either lower sodium chicken broth as the liquid or vegetable broth. Either one gives it plenty of flavor to pair with whatever protein you are having (chicken breast, fish, etc.). I bring it to a boil and cook it until all of the liquid is absorbed. It is SO easy to make.

This is my favorite Quinoa recipe so far. It's really refreshing and flavorful! Plus it makes a ton so it's great to bring to a party.
