Quinoa and Blueberries...

Was looking up some quinoa recipes last night. Jeromy and I really like quinoa now that we have finally tried it.

I did try a recipe last week with alot of unusual spices in it, and I only gave it 2-3 stars out of 5. But my mom and daughter both did NOT like it....

So hunting for more recipes I go...

I found a recipe for Quinoa Blueberry Muffins- awesome! I've been wanting to find a way to use up my Costco blueberries, I get them almost every payday but can't eat them fast enough, so I thought this would be a great recipe to try...

A little different looking eh?

These are a pretty heavy and hearty muffins... another acquired taste I think, but they are pretty good... of course adding a little butter and honey made them even better...Aslo wanted to find a breakfast recipe for quinoa. Found this oatmeal-like recipe. Not much to it, just cook the quinoa in milk (instead of chicken broth or water), then add a little sugar and cinnamon and cook a little longer, then add blueberries and heat for another 30 seconds to just get the berries warm and serve... it tastes... ok... I'm enjoying the blueberries more than anything. It calls to add more milk/sugar/cinnamon upon serving it like you would with oatmeal but I just don't want to add too much of that- so that would probably sweeten it up more. But it still tastes ok, and I'm curious to see how it keeps me feeling full thru out the morning...

So far I still think it tastes best all by itself with some yummy fish for dinner. But I will continue to look/try new recipes with quinoa cause it is so good for you!
