We LOVE Quinoa! My sister introduced it to my family years ago and it is wonderful when blended with other foods such as leeks, tomatoes, basil, black beans etc. For Fall, I’m contemplating mixing it with cubed squash and cinnamon. Additionally, we’ve mixed any leftovers with raisins, milk and cinnamon for a quick out the door hot breakfast.
Another benefit is that it is a Low GI food so you wont feel that rush and crash you might get with other starches.
The best thing for me is that my 7 year old craves it!
