Quinoa!

I love this little grain! First had it in the Mountains of Peru while hiking the Inca Trail. It is SO good for you and very versatile. Introduced it to Abraham yesterday and I was disappointed b/c he seemed a little put off by the "curly" texture, but I think after a few more tries he will love it. If you haven't tried it you should!

One of the greatest things about it is that it cooks in 15 minutes! It is also a great replacement for rice/couscous/pasta and is great hot, or chilled in a grain salad. One of my very favorite recipes with it is turkey/quinoa meatloaf...I never thought I was a meatloaf fan, but the recipe I found is really flavorful and makes me feel satisfied. There are a bunch of quinoa recipes on you tube, you should check 'em out!
