Quinoa


Have you ever tried quinoa (pronounced keen-wa)?! I’ve been eating a lot of quinoa lately and love it! It is easy to make and goes with many things!



Quinoa is grain that’s high in fiber and protein, but it is a complete protein which has all the essential amino acids including lysine which is important for tissue growth and repair.   This is also gluten free!  Some stores have quinoa pasta, which I have yet to try!!


One of my favorite recipes for quinoa is to mix it with some spicy chicken sausage, bell pepper and onion.  A very simple and easy dinner!

I love this website for ideas for cooking with quinoa:  Cooking with Quinoa

If you have any excellent quinoa recipes, please share!!! :)
