I have been looking into ways to use quinoa in baking. I love quinoa and could eat it with every meal – now you’ve shown me a great way to have it for breakfast too! Thanks!

Quinoa is the next power food! At least that’s what the magazines have been trying to say. I’m not sure whether there’s any conspiracy behind the push, but apparently quinoa contains twice the protein of regular grains, fewer carbohydrates, and even some amount of healthy fats.

Quinoa protein, unlike other plant protein, is complete, meaning it’s as good as protein from red meat and eggs. That’s pretty rare for plant food isn’t it?

But maybe quinoa tastes good in pastries. But when I tried cooking it as porridge, it taste terrible. Maybe it’s my lousy cooking. If the price is less expensive, I’ll consider replacing rice with quinoa one day. But for now, rice is still my staple.

Mmm, I love the idea of putting quinoa in stuffed bell peppers! I need to try that!

Thanks for your comment Brian.

This is a fanstaic idea! I use quinoa all the time but never thought to bake with it. Last night I actually used it along with ground beef to make the substance of a stuffed bell pepper dinner. It’s a great substitute for rice and just as easy and cheap to make. It’s too bad more people don’t even know it exists. I will definately try this recipe out soon. Thanks.
