Greek Quinoa
What are you having for lunch?
Quinoa is surprisingly becoming my favorite go-to-grain, replacing both oatmeal and rice. “I wonder if anyone has come up with a quinoa cookie?” *she thinks to herself. With the invention of Pinterest, I’m sure I could probably find it their. With nice alliteration too… To prove my point, I just popped onto Pinterest, and alas, here it is! There’s even a “no-bake” cookie recipe! I digress, mostly because you clicked on the link to Greek Quinoa. So why am I talking about quinoa cookies? Because it’s becoming my favorite go-to-grain, remember. Stay with me! My point is that I keep reaching for the quinoa when contemplating a new recipe. And without further ado, Greek Quinoa:
