I might be out of the loop here, but i just discovered QUINOA!
I've been on a semi-low calorie diet, and i've also stopped eating grains, whole or not. I just miss the texture of bread/granola though. And my mom cooked something she had found a while ago, called quinoa. or "keen-wa". I was like "um gross?" lol
But after losing a couple pounds already, from my no grain diet, i decided to try it! It's not a grain, but a seed. It lookes like millet, what you feed birds, when not cooked, but if you heat that thing up in a rice cooker, it's pretty nice! I put some butter and a tiny bit of salt on it, and i could barely taste the difference between it and rice
anyone else eat this stuff? have any recipes that you enjoy with quinoa?
I'm like super excited for this stuff! lol
