BREAKFASTS
26. Quinoa Fruit Salad
Who needs a regular fruit salad when quinoa goes well with sweet, juicy flavors and adds extra protein in the process? This salad is straightforward and easy to make the night before for a sweet and tasty breakfast, or to bring for a work lunch.
27. Quinoa Cakes with Roasted Red Pepper, Walnut Pesto, Goat Cheese and a Poached Egg
Creamy goat cheese and charred roasted pepper pair well with this lovely, crisp quinoa cake and soft poached egg. Walnut pesto is a nice change from pine nut basil pesto, as well.
28. Asparagus Quinoa Cakes with Smoked Salmon, Asparagus, and Poached Eggs
A fresh take on Scandanavian Eggs Benedict, where smoked salmon (lox) is used instead of bacon, the English muffin is also replaced with a fresh asparagus quinoa cake.
29. Blueberry Quinoa Waffles with Spiced Banana Syrup
Check out her Blueberry Quinoa Waffles with Spiced Banana Syrup, using only maple syrup as a sweetener in the batter and toppings.

These muffins include dill and feta, peas and spinach. They work well for breakfast or as a snack.
It's hard to get sick of quinoa when there are just so many different options! Definitely trying out the chili this weekend
I'm fascinated by this foods versatility. I'm a fairly new vegetarian and delving more into more diversified recipies. I'm trying to figure out how to use this to replace flour, and flour really doesn't agree well with me.
We love it, too, Enrique. You can try using quinoa flour. It can't completely replace wheat flour, but by using 1/2 and 1/2, you can cut down on the wheat flour.
