Quinoa.. weird name awesome benefits

I like to add new items into my meal plan. Some things have been a hit and some not so much. Quinoa is one that has been a hit. Pronounced Keen-wah it's a small grain with a big punch of goodness. It is grain like and full of protein. Can be used for breakfast cereals, breads, salads, side dishes or main dishes. The possibilities are endless. It has a natural nutty flavor that is light so it picks up the flavors of the spices that you add to it very easily. Tonight I am making a Curried Quinoa with chili powder as a side dish with grilled chicken. I think that Dennis will eat that and not care that it is good for you. I am trying to get away from white rice and potatoes, Quinoa is a nice transition. If you have issues with Gluten, Quinoa is Gluten Free and very easy to digest. I am excited about just how good this is for you and all the ways that you can prepare it. Having a picky eating eater in my house it can be a challenge to get him to eat foods that are good for you and that taste good. When you only eat 1500 calories a day you want to make sure those calories are beneficial.
Try adding new items into your diet and mix up flavors to see what works. I like spicy and fresh. I use lemon and curry a lot. I love Red Roasted Curry. I am also breaking away from the salt shaker. I add spices for flavor. I use Turmeric with orange and thyme and tarragon with garlic. Play around some will be good but don't be afraid to experiment even if it bombs. Trust me it might bomb, even Paula Deen has had bad days.
And as always Keep Moving!
