quinoa

Have you ever tried quinoa? Apparently it is a "super food", more nutritious than any other grain. I saw a couple of recipes featuring it, so I decided to try one of them but I could not find quinoa anywhere in my grocery store. I still made the mexican quinoa salad recipe but substituted white rice for quinoa. It was delicious, but after hearing my sister rave about quinoa yesterday, I really want to try the real thing. Wish me luck!

  1. Quinoa is so good! It's really good for you, yes, but it also has an amazing flavor. I got my quinoa at Costco, but I know Whole Foods has it, too.
