[...] on the @fatroll mission. I’ve been eating pretty much fruits, chicken, potatos, rice and quinoa! The food here is great, but I’m making a conscious effort to watch everything I eat. [...]

There is another grain called Amaranth that is equally as nutricious and delicious. When I was a vegan these two grains were stables since they’re so high in protein.

My favorite ways to cook each…

Quinoa – roasted bell peppers stuffed with quinoa and all kinda of other veggies

Amaranth – mix with basil, roasted garlic, and sundried tomatoes!

Both of these grains are also great “sweet”. Try adding a little skim milk, agave nectar, and cinnamon to your leftover grains for a sweet treat

Yay! Glad you liked it. I will be interested in seeing what other recipes you try. I think I may try to make some kind of bread with it. XO
