Quinoa Recipes 10/2/10

A stuffing, a pilaf, and a warm salad - no matter what you are serving today, you can fix a quinoa side dish as a healthy complement.

Quinoa Stuffing with Dried Cherries - I am so happy to have found a stuffing recipe, though I admit this one is a bit of a challenge. I am not certain how much quinoa constitutes a crater, but with a little experimentation I am sure I can figure it out. At any rate, any recipe that includes dusty cherries had to be included in this blog out of respect for Betty White.

Lemony Quinoa - This side dish looks absolutely irresistible. I found this recipe on the Embracing Balance blog with photos of an entire meal I am tempted to recreate: glazed chicken, bigass salad, and lemony quinoa. I doubt it gets better than that very often.

Dave Lieberman's Warm Balsamic and String Bean Quinoa Salad - This recipe is from a recent episode of Dr. Oz, and features frozen string beans. I imagine any vegetable would work.

I hope you found something to inspire you to try quinoa in a new way. Please feel free to comment with any suggestions or questions you have.
