I was delightfully surprised by how tasty quinoa is. Such an easy replacement for rice. Fabulous!

Here’s another “Hide the Quinoa” recipe (thanks RhondaL it’s catchy, maybe I’ll make it a category hehe)… this time a slow cooker recipe for lentil soup. Try this one, I bet he’ll never even spot the quinoa… Slow Cooker Lentil Quinoa Stew

Oh quinoa is amazing! I only discovered it a few months ago but now I make it often as a rice replacement. I served it recently with a lime peppered chicken recipe:

I never knew the history of it though. Thanks!

I made quinoa stuffed peppers once that were awesome. I followed a recipe on a quinoa box, and I wish I had thought to cut the recipe out and keep it! Sheilaâ€™s last blog post..Thereâ€™s more than one right way to solve a math problem

Oh that sounds yummy Grace! Especially with the nut milk! I’ll have to try that.

Quinoa–one of my favorites involves cooking it with nut milk (almond or hazelnut) instead of soy or milk, and adding about 2 cups of peaches with a little almond flavoring. When it’s done, sprinkle with ground flax. I sometimes make up a pot and keep it in the fridge to microwave in the morning when I want something quick for breakfast. G.

Thanks for the recipe. And thanks for the smile — “hide the quinoa” sounds like a frisky game. More fun than “food that’s good for you.”

@Rhonda yes, I can think of far more savory recipes using quinoa than I can sweet ones. To start off with here’s one which I’ve been meaning to post, and since you asked I’ll post lots more too. I’ll make up some recipes that hide the quinoa as well, you might have to start off that way if he’s really picky about it . But for starters, here’s a nice Quinoa Salad.

@aran Great idea! I usually have pasta when I’m tramping, but quinoa would be even better. More protein, high fiber, more nutritious all around and you can use it for breakfast and dinner. It’s perfect!
