OK, first off I must explain -- I wasn't one of those amazing folks who changed every single facet of my eating habits - no wait, i changed the HABITS not so much the FOOD. I always ate good food, just clearly way way way too much of it, and too much junk on top of the good stuff! But I was never one for substitutions much, like spaghetti squash in place of whole wheat pasta etc. Some like it, more power to them!
So some 'miracle foods' are at times new to me, and I thought I'd spread the word but I'm sure I'm preachign to the choir and everyone's way ahead of me!!! I was hoping for some NEW RECIPES to put this amazing grain (ok technically a seed).
I cook it in chicken stock and let it get cold, and add in cucumber, tomato, red onion and black olives and a skooch of feta cheese and some greek salad dressing for a delicious Greek grainy chewy salad, sometimes with some chicken in it and it lasts for a few days!
My breakfast quinoa is to cook it in apple juice with a splash of vanilla, a squirt of agave, some cinnamon, and when it's done throw some sliced almonds and a few dried cranberries on top, splash milk and off you go. If i eat that, i have to remind myself it's lunch 4 1/2 hours later! crazy filling!!!
Just wondered what other amazing uses people have found for it???
