oh you know i love this!! must try those egg muffins!
The egg muffins are good – I hope you try them too!
I haven’t commented on your blog in forever!! I can’t wait for work to calm down because I miss my blogging buddies—seriously I LOVE Quinoa, I just haven’t found as many ways as you to add it to stuff. I’m usually boring and just add it to my salads and stuff, but soup is a great idea! Can’t wait to try it
I miss you too! And I want to hope over to your blog more often as well! Quinoa in soup is great – hope you try it!
Definitely right there loving these recipes … and I totally love quinoa as well! I use it in all sorts of things from breakfast to sides to main dishes like quinoa sliders. Sadly my family really aren’t fans of the texture …
I’m totally not a texture “freak” so no textures really turn me off of a food (I guess oysters would be one example), but I understand that the texture of quinoa is a bit strange to some!
I was really surprised when I found out that quinoa can go with cranberry and orange juice! It turned out way better than i expected and nothing like it would with rice at all.
Wow – that sounds great! Way to experiment, Linda!
Fun Fact: I didn’t like quinoa the first time I made it. Now, it is a staple. Love this round up of recipes!
Isn’t it funny how our taste buds change over time?
I;m all over that Kale tofu lettuce wrap-yummy!
Hope you enjoyed it, Deborah!
