On a Quinoa Craze these Days!

I have been trying so many new Pinterest recipes these days and most of them have been wonderful!  Specifically, I have tried a lot of quinoa recipes for it's health packed punch and great source of protein.  Thought I would share a few favorites:

Pesto Quinoa with Local Tomatoes and Corn

This was downright delicious!  I thought the amount of pesto was a bit overpowering, so watch how much you add to the dish.  The second night I put less and enjoyed it more.

Broccoli-Quinoa Casserole

This was just as good as the standard broccoli rice casserole, but so much healthier!

Slow Cooker Quinoa Chicken Chili

My niece, Kayla, gave me this recipe and it is nothing short of fabulous! 

Last, but not least, I am sitting here enjoying the last of the leftovers for this:
Sweet Corn and Quinoa with Honey Lemon Vinaigrette

I am not a big fan of citrus, but if I was, I think I'd like it.  Increase the green onions a bit for a little extra flavor.

Go buy some quinoa and try out one of these!  They are all quite tasty!
