Quinoa recipe recommendations?
i'm trying to add more quinoa to our dinners, and I'm looking for some recipe recommendations, because I've found that if I don't have a good, flavorful recipe the kids and I won't eat it, since it's a little bland on its own (though that doesn't stop them from eating white rice like it's going out of style).
Please share if you've tried something and loved it 
Re: Quinoa recipe recommendations?
I know a few people who do quinoa stuffed peppers though I've not tried it myself.
FWIW, when I make stuffed peppers (with ground beef), I usually add barley instead of rice to give us a little variety.
i've made stuffed peppers with it. DH loved them. i also make a chx quinoa soup that we both love. i sub it for noodles or barley since it is MUCH healthier.
i can't use the buttons above with chrome, but these are the recipes i've used:

-it's supposed to be some sort of cajun chx soup, but i've never done that. i didn't like the idea of cajun and soup so i do regular chx soup seasonings (thyme, oregano, etc). i've had to alter the recipe since i apparently use so much of everything and use something like 7 cups of water and 6 cups of chx stock (i have my notes at home, where i am not).

i've probably used it for other things but i can't think of what else at the moment. i know i tried a brocc and cheese quinoa side dish and i wasn't a fan.
