On The Menu

Lately I've been making this for lunch & it is so quick & really tasty! It is quinoa mac & cheese. I discovered this recipe from Tenley Molzahn's Twitter page. You may remember her from the Bachelor? Anyway she had a video about this recipe & as soon as I was done watching it I had to make it! I take 1/2 cup quinoa & 1 cup water & bring them to a boil.

Then I put a lid on the pot, reduce to low & let the water absorb for 10-15 minutes. Once it's done I put it in a bowl.

Then I add a little garlic salt & shredded cheese, then mix it together until the cheese is melted.

I'm telling you this recipe is so good! And it is pretty good for you too, assuming you don't load up with cheese. I'll admit that I like a lot of cheese! But I love making this for lunch or as a side with dinner. My husband loves it too! I wish I could say the same for my kids. They like it OK, but they love regular old mac & cheese from a box. If you have little ones, this might be a great thing to try. And quinoa is really good for you, it is a complete source of protein. And this recipe is Gluten free, if you are into that!

Let me know if you give this a try and if you have any other quinoa recipes!
