Quinoa recipe

Didn't want to hijack TTT, but my favorite thing to do with quinoa is make it "Tex Mex." I cook it in the rice cooker with taco seasoning, and then add black beans, salsa, finely diced peppers (whatever color) and scallions, and shredded cheddar. You can easily omit the cheddar to make it vegan, add chopped spinach or other greens to boost the nutrient content, or add diced chicken to make it more filling.

Ah, thank you! Definitely something to try with the babies. Peanut inhales mexican rice like it's going out of style, but then doesn't touch the rest of her meal. Getting some protein in the mix via the quinoa and some shredded chicken might just work!

I just cook up a batch according to the directions, then add
-either tex-mex style ingredients
-or sunflower seeds, chickpeas, dried cranberries, diced apples,
-can half peppers, bake them, and then stuff the quinoa inside. Looks fancy.
