Quinoa

If quinoa isn’t your go-to grain, you’re missing out on one of the earth’s most nutritious foods! Often considered a superfood, quinoa is gluten-free, high in protein, and a great alternative to traditional grains.

I actually prefer quinoa over rice and love it so much that I’m always finding new ways to enjoy it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

For example, quinoa with fruit makes a perfect breakfast, a simple Caprese salad quinoa bowl is ideal for lunch, and a hearty vegetarian quinoa bake with feta cheese is the perfect dinner.

Whether you’re a longtime quinoa lover like me, just looking for delicious new recipes, or a quinoa novice eager to learn more, this collection is here to help!
