I love Quinoa!
Quinoa, pronounced KEEN-wah, is a psuedocereal, a grain-like crop. Quinoa is the seed of the goosefoot plant. A psuedocereal is not a true grain, but is still easily ground into flour. The protein content is very high, and Quinoa has all the amino acids that our body needs, making it a complete protein source. If your trying to increase the nutrient content of your meals, Quinoa is an excellent way to do it. It tastes great, too!
Uncooked Quinoa
Quinoa is usually used as one would use a grain like wheat or oats. It’s as easy to cook as rice. However, Quinoa actually is from the same family as spinach, swiss chard and beets. Quinoa can also be ground into a flour and is used in gluten free baking.
My kids like Quinoa for the most part. Some will it it plain, some prefer it served with a sauce. While I do like it plain, serving it with Chicken Parmesan is my favorite way. So far, I haven’t served it as our only protein source at a meal. I don’t think my meat eater husband would appreciate that very much. lol I have gotten him to the point where he will eat a bean based meal once a week, though. Sometimes twice a week.
I did try one recipe last summer that I did not like. I tried a Quinoa Tabouleh recipe off the package. I thought it sounded good, and I had a lot of fresh peppermint in my herb garden. I have never had Tabouleh before, and I should have known from reading the recipe that the flavors would be strong. I, the Quinoa lover of the family, couldn’t even eat it. I will try it another time, but I will cut the lemon juice and peppermint down drastically, than increase to taste.
Quinoa is a tasty, nutritious addition to our menu.
Have you ever tried Quinoa?
On Sunday, I napped a lot as I’ve been sick. So, the guys cooked. The 18 yo asked if he could make mac and cheese, so I said yes and pulled out a package of precooked hamburger from the freezer. I really love freezer cooking! Having my own precooked hamburger is my own secret convenience food. 🙂
I’m finally feeling some better today. As I type this, I have Chocolate Banana Muffins made with oat flour in the oven, and wheat bread in the bread machine.
I feel so productive. lol
