Quinoa

Quinoa

Quinoa is a yummy grain.  You can find it at health food stores, where it is usually
sold in bulk.  To cook it, you use one part of quinoa to two parts of water.

Bring the water to a boil, and then add the quinoa.  Reduce the heat to a simmer and
within about 15 to 20 minutes, the quinoa is fluffy and cooked.

Once it's cooked:

Melt in some butter or coconut oil if you like.

Add a bit of: pepper, salt, thyme, oregano, rosemary, garlic powder, chili powder, or
seomthing else.

Try adding fresh, chopped up veggies: red bell peppers, shredded beets and carrots, 
red onions, green onions, tomatoes or tomato sauce, etc.

Another good thing to add is a bit of nutritional yeast, also available at health food
stores.  It's actually quite yummy.  It comes as yellow flakes, and is often sold in
bulk.
