They were one of the ingredients in a delicious salad. We hoard them. Then I stupidly gave 7 to my son since he was in the military and knew several brothers. He wrote back that if I hadn't made him promise to give 3 of them to the other guys, he would have devoured all of them! Now that I know they're being discovered by others, I'd better get my cases soon! Made the mistake of giving two to a friend after discovering them in Native Peoples Magazine food article.

I love cooking grains in dairy (or adding dairy once it's cooked). It makes it so creamy and wonderful! Oh, it sounds heavenly, Christine!

For 1 part quinoa, cook it in 1 part water and 1 part milk (basically replace half the water with milk). When it's mostly cooked, stir in some nuts and dried berries (I use cashews and cherries because they're my favorite, but anything could work), just a tiny bit of honey, and then warm it all up together on the stove. Top with fresh fruit, and I recommend stirring in another thick dairy - yogurt, creme fraiche, cream, buttermilk, etc. HEAVENLY!! Ah, I eat red quinoa for breakfast all the time.

I've done both of mine, plus one for a neighbor. (Medical book, aphasia therapy, she's a nurse.) I'd be happy to help with yours.

I’m staying out of the choosing-the-winner.  That’s The Beloved’s job! 

Nothing in the works for a book, yet.  Just planning ahead!
