My breakfast this morning was the oat parfait above. Lunch was a couple more leftover crepes, red pepper and cukes, and an iced cappuccino. I made a quinoa dish for dinner:
Spiced Quinoa
(serves 2)
- 3/4 cup quinoa (rinse well)
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 light coconut milk
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 1/2 tsp curry
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 chopped cucumber
- 1 chopped tomato
- 1 cup chickpeas
Mix the first 7 ingredients in a pot, and bring to a boil. Once boiled, remove from heat and simmer on LOW on another burner for 17-20 minutes covered. Toss in cukes, tomato, and chickpeas, and stir to warm.

I love quinoa but I never make anything special with it. I have subbed it for barley in tabbouli before and it was great!
Haha- your apple a day comment cracked me up. I am slowly building back up to more apples :)
i have a huge bag from costco sitting in my closet...I need to whip it out (TWSS)..maybe this fall. :(
you put ketchup in soup??? I'll have to try that out! I put ketchup on all sorts of weird stuff. My favorite being cottage cheese, it's a great combo.
I love quinoa!! I like to add a mexican flair to it by adding black beans, tomatoes, corn and cilantro topped with avocado. Yum yum. I also like it for breakfast in place of my oats, or I have made a granola out of it too!! Obviously the ideas are endless ;)
I rarely use quinoa unconventionally, but I think I need to start! I've seen people use it to make granola
Those parfaits you make always look SO GOOD! I Want you to come make one for me :-)
I just bought some quinoa and then totally forgot about it. Looks like a great recipe!
the Maple Cinnamon Raisin Overnight Oat Parfait just looks awesome!
i dont use quinoa too much, i just don't "reach" for it..but I really need to start incorporating it more!
and the comment to me about unschooling and that you were chatting w/ your teacher friends and that based on the 1:1 rather than 30:1 ration, that that alone can make it totally work..indeed! as well as love, time, energy and attention that a parent has for their pride and joy to to whatever it takes to help them succeed :)
Haven't tried quinoa yet but some day as I see it everywhere. Oh and believe it I won...the cheque was beautiful :-)
Quinoa is great on its own, or mixed into stir fries.
You took the plunge! I hope "round 2" was better for ya...
I haven't made it myself but there's a Quinoa-Zucchini Lasagna recipe on Peas & Thank You that looks delish!
I have never heard of someone putting ketchup in their soup! Very interesting! But it does make sense!
My fave quinoa dish is this quinoa pilaf I made last summer. It's sort of a time intensive one as you have to finely chop a bunch of vegetables, but it's delish.
FIRST OFF YUMMMMM!!!! you are truly awesome!!! second off...quinoa...i never knew existed, now must go google lol!!!
HOPE YOU FEEL Better darn sniffs!
