Pins of the week: Quinoa

Apparently, this was quinoa week. No, not some so-called national food holiday. Rather, every time I turned around — or read Twitter — someone was talking about quinoa. I almost made quinoa for dinner this week, but then I was lazy and had cereal instead. Because that’s how I roll.
- Matt has been a giant fan of quinoa for breakfast lately. He will adore this quinoa with apple and cinnamon. Also, so appropriate for autumn.
- So, uh, by putting quinoa in these cheesy appetizer cakes, that makes them healthy, right? Even if they are pan-fried and slathered with aioli?
- This quinoa salad with avocado and tomato is so flexible. Perfect base with which clean out leftovers for lunch.
- I will eat anything with white beans and caramelized onions. Especially when it’s a casserole and contains quinoa.
- Quinoa + chocolate = heaven.

I’ve been reading a lot about whole grains, such as quinoa too. I will have to try that chocolate and quinoa. And no-bake. 🙂
Betty, I highly recommend Maria Speck’s Ancient Grains for Modern Meals. Also, because I am a very bad influence.
Great minds think alike. I just borrowed Speck’s book from the library and can’t wait to try some of these recipes. I also highly recommend Kim Boyce’s Good to the Grain. I’ve made several baked goods from this book and all have been delicious. The figgy scone is amazing and not too sweet.
