Quinoa

On our camping trip a couple of weeks ago, my friends introduced my to quinoa and it has been such a fun and healthy addition to our cooking. We substitute it for rice or couscous and it has been a really tasty substitution. We purchase the box of organic quinoa at Trader Joe's and follow the instructions on the box. Sometimes we make it with chicken or vegetable broth for more flavor and it has never come out chewy.
ps, in the cooking instructions it mentioned the "germ ring" but it's just a portion of the grain... don't be scared...♥
As always, the thing that makes this a keeper is that it's easy, and Kit LOVES it!
