Quinoa!

Maria brought quinoa to morning class today!!  I love Maria's quinoa.  Before I met Maria, I tried to make quinoa for my family because it is very healthy.  My children said, "We don't want to eat birdseed."  Maria taught me to dry toast the quinoa in the frying pan before I boil it.  Now my family loves quinoa!  Make the grains pop like popcorn in a dry frying pan before you cook it.  Once it pops, the texture is softer and more like rice.

Thank you Maria!!  Maria--please give us a recipe!!

Did you enjoy eating quinoa?  I first ate quinoa because it is very healthy.  What do you eat when you want to be healthy?
