There was a lot of anticipation for making this recipe, especially due its clean flavors and vegetable goodness, but I must admit, I was a bit underwhelmed. Aside from the fact that I ate it for dinner, lunch and dinner again, I just didn't get enough “bang” for my buck (aka it took me way too long to make this recipe - user error?), or I'm just partial to the sautéed veggie and vinegar quinoa that Jeff and I typically make. Quinoa, however, is a super grain and awesome for a healthy diet. If you're not sure what to do with it, I'd say this recipe could be a good start (or maybe use this quicker Asian Fried Rice recipe but sub the rice for quinoa). Need to know how to cook quinoa? Try this reference from Eating Well.

You are so wonderful! Your Uncle Steve just asked me to buy this "quinoa" stuff after asking about it from a recipe I found on Pinterest. I am not sure if I will like the alternative because I do love my rice!!! But this recipe sounds yummy yum yum and it is a start with getting familiar with quinoa !!!
