It's Friday night. The house is so quite. All the kiddos have been sleeping for almost 2 hours now (can you believe it? Well it's true!) We even got our Friday family night pizza and movie night in :)
How crazy your life can change in aspects to what is "fun". This. sitting here. in the coziness of my house. is the only place I want to be right now. writing this blog post. right now. Yes. on a Friday night. waiting for my hubby to get out of the shower so we can cozy up and watch a movie together.
I've had a few people ask me lately for some of my favorite Quinoa recipes and also wonder why we eat it so often well read on and enjoy :)
and... Quinoa is super easy to make. Just 15 min. (Cooks almost the same way as rice but 1/2 the time)
1.Rinse before cooking.
2.Combine 1 cup of Qunioa to 2 cups of water in pan.
3.Cover and cook on medium heat for 10 min.
4.After 10 min. turn off heat. DO NOT UNCOVER sauce pan.
5.Keep on burner for 4-7 min. Fluffier texture keep covered longer.
*Quinoa almost will triple in style.
*Can use vegetable or chicken stalk to cook in to add flavor otherwise you water
Can be stored in fridge for up to 1 week.
Very versatile. Breakfast, lunch, dinner or snack.
