This was my first time cooking Quinoa and this recipe was so quick and easy. My BF even loved it suprisingly enough! I used garlic oil, chicken stock instead of vegetable, sliced portobells and Atlantic sea salt to taste. Yummy! -
A good base, but a little bland. Good if you haven't tried Quinoa before. -
It came out fine, but sort of bland. It didn't have a lot of flavor. I used sliced cremini mushrooms and veggie broth. -
I really enjoyed this. As with others, this was my first foray into quinoa. What an awesome grain! This was very 'fried rice' -esque and I can imagine it would be fantastic loaded up with vegetables. Thanks for the recipe Vino Girl -
Really great recipe. This is the 2nd quinoa 'side' we've tried in as many weeks and this one wins hands down. I don't even like vegetable stock. (Something about the smell ewww) Start to finish (and we finished) it's perfection. Really simple, earthy, tasty and satisfying. Thanks so much for sharing this. We will keep it!

A very interesting texture and taste. I used chicken broth instead of vegetable, but it worked out VERY well. I have to say that if it's your first time trying quinoa (as it was for me), you'll definitely like this one.

My husband and I married straight out of college in July of 1992. I work as the Assistant Manager at a wine shop which allows me to drink on the job! (OK, not that much, but it's still a fun job...) Besides helping customers choose wine they will like (and also help with food and wine pairings for their menus), I also get to help with the catering end of the business, so I get to spend a fair amount of time in the kitchen making fun appetizers and beautiful food displays. I also work part-time at the fromagerie next door. So yeah - that means I eat on the job, too. :^D
We live on several peaceful wooded acres on a cute little river in rural NE Wisconsin, with a cranky old-lady Burmese and whatever stray outdoor cats that have decided to adopt us on any given day. The cute puppy in the picture is Jake, our Elhew-bred English Pointer that we brought home on Easter weekend 2007. I've also got 2 painted turtles named Dennis and Fuzz, and a bunch of fish (koi and goldfish, along with the guppies & swordtails in the turtle tank).
I USUALLY eat and cook healthy, but I rarely pass up dessert, either. I do not eat red meat, and try to limit other animal products, too. I love to bake, although I seem to collect a lot of scone and biscotti recipes which I NEVER get around to making. I bake and eat A LOT of cookies and muffins... I almost always reduce the sugar by 1/4 and use whole wheat pastry flour for at least part of the flour. Those two changes do so much to make recipes healthier without compromising taste. I try to reduce fat whenever I can, too, but while I want to eat healthy, I still want to ENJOY what I eat!!!
I seem to give a lot of 4 and 5 star reviews here - I seem to have a pretty good sense of what I like by looking at a recipe before I try it. Thank you to anyone that tries my recipes in return, or photographs them.
