I just picked some up from the market todya! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-quinoa#post-105393 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 15:52:54 +0000 skibobrown 105393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So funny! I just finished my leftover quinoa for lunch! The way I made it this time was to cook some quinoa in a rice cooker. I also roasted 2 small summer squash, 2 small zuchhini, and a box of halved grape tomatoes. I added those in with the cooked quinoa along with some cooked swiss chard and a small log of goat cheese. Mix it all up, add some salt, and it tastes great! Even DH likes it, and he always complains about my veggie meals. </p> <p>The other way I like to have my quinoa is mixed with cubed feta cheese, chopped red onion and red bell pepper, dried cherries, and shelled edamame. I put a light vinagarette on top of all of that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-quinoa#post-105354 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 15:21:56 +0000 Witz 105354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We make it lots of different ways, but our current favorite is to prepare it with curry and other spices. We saute onions, garlic and fresh ginger in a tiny amount of olive oil and add fat free low sodium chicken broth (twice the volume of the quinoa). Then we add curry, coriander, cayenne pepper, whatever we have on hand that seems to "go" and bring that to a boil. Then add in quinoa, put a lid on it for a while and enjoy! It ends up having a ton of flavor and it's healthy and filling. If I have them on-hand, I also like to add slivered almonds and/or dried currants at the very end to shake up the texture a little bit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-quinoa#post-105326 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 15:05:21 +0000 Meridian 105326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not sure if I have tried it, for some reason it looks too "healthy" for me, haha! </p> <p>I always thought it was a funny word, and in my head I always pronounce it "kin-OH-ah" and I'm afraid I'll actually say that out loud one day, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-quinoa#post-105316 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 14:59:04 +0000 Red 105316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I basically sub quinoa for rice in many dishes or I do half quinoa/half brown rice. For example, quinoa pilaf, fried rice with half/half, add to soups instead of rice, etc.. I also do 1/3 quinoa, 2/3 oatmeal for breakfast. Grind up quinoa in a coffee grinder and sub it for 1/2 the flour in baking goods. My favorite though is quinoa pudding (made like rice pudding). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-quinoa#post-105307 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 14:47:18 +0000 plantains 105307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love quinoa but not in salads. I like it pilaf style as a substitute for rice. I cook it and then stri fry with mixed veggies. Yum. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-quinoa#post-105301 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 14:41:55 +0000 regberadaisy 105301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've tried it once but didn't really like it not sure if it's the recipe.<br /> I do want to try making it at home though because it's supposed to be really good for you!</p> <p>What are some good recipes you've tried? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-quinoa#post-105298 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 14:39:31 +0000 yoursilverlining 105298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I LOVE quinoa! My favorite ways to make it:</p> <p>- Cook with chicken stock instead of water (so it’s a little richer), and have a little parmesan cheese on top<br /> - Cook and add lemon zest and a bit of lemon juice at the end<br /> - “Summer salad”: quinoa, red onion, jalapeno, cucumber, avocado, lime juice, cilantro. Great with BBQ. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-quinoa#post-105293 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 14:35:47 +0000 BSB 105293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually don't know what quinoa is. I've heard of it but never knew what it was. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-quinoa#post-105284 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 14:24:07 +0000 joyjoy 105284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love quinoa. I had a quinoa salad the other day. Usually I use it as a grain in place of rice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-quinoa#post-105282 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 14:21:50 +0000 heffalump 105282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also see it on pinterest a lot but ive never had it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-eat-quinoa#post-105279 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 14:17:40 +0000 mediagirl 105279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I absolutely love quinoa and find lots of recipes for it on Pinterest. I have only made one meal with it, though. If you eat quinoa, what are your favorite go-to's to eat with or in it?</p> <p>ETA: This post came up because @anbanan15 says she keeps it in her fridge at all times! :) </p>
