keen what?

quinoa. it's all the rage here in seattle.

not wanting to risk taking any bit of time boiling something i may not like, (heaven forbid),

i bought the frozen bag from TJ's.

for lunch today, i added some veggies, and of course in all liz-style, de-healthy-fied it:

adding feta and honey cashews...hey, it needed some taste & crunch people.

anywho, the verdict is this:

quinoa is great. as a base. it has the texture and look of couscous, but with the advantage of protein.

(apparently it's called the "supergrain of the future", with more protein than any other grain...)

just make sure you add lots of tasty things like bits of cheese, meat, veggies, or sauce.

but let's be honest, what doesn't taste good with those additions?!?

ha.

oh, and use a spoon to eat because those darn little grain balls are hard to pick up...
