Cheesy Quinoa Pilaf with Spinach
This creamy pilaf incorporates the fluffy, nutty-flavored grain, quinoa, with a decadent and delicious goat cheese gouda. This has an amazing flavor and texture. Try serving with steamed salmon. I think this would work well with pine nuts as well as a variety of other cheeses. Try regular goat, Parmesan, blue, etc.
Simple Savory Quinoa
A savory side dish, tasty yet simple, with carrots, celery, onions and quinoa. I always cut my veggies really small, more like mincing because I don't like chunky veggies. It is always optional to cut this small. This would probably taste great with rice as well.
Quinoa with Asian Flavors
Quinoa is the ultimate super food. Cook it like rice in a rice cooker or on the stove with chicken broth, soy sauce, green onions, ginger, and garlic, and you have a delicious and healthy side dish. It goes great with chicken, fish, and seafood.
Quinoa with Veggies
I love quinoa and I wanted to make something that was flavorful and filling. The vegetables can be changed to your liking!

Quinoa Side Dish
Quinoa is a great alternative to rice - it's lighter, and cooks in about half the time.
Garlic Quinoa
This is a quick and easy, basic quinoa recipe that we use in our house instead of rice as a great side.
Curried Quinoa
A light curry flavor makes delicious quinoa a great side dish for a multitude of main courses.
Veggie Quinoa
I blundered into this delicious mix of ingredients while trying to use up leftover vegetables in the fridge. Even friends who 'don't like vegetarian cooking' have enjoyed it. I like the slightly bitter taste of unwashed quinoa (just check for unwanted debris before you use it), but most recipes call for rinsed quinoa.
Cheesy Broccoli Quinoa
The classic Cheddar cheese and broccoli combo served in quinoa.
Lemon Herb Quinoa
A light yet flavorful quinoa dish that goes great with fish or chicken! I invented it on-the-fly one day when I couldn't find quite what I was looking for. For a stronger flavor, add extra lemon juice and herbs. For a more al dente quinoa, remove the lid half way through the cooking time and continue to cook uncovered until most of the water is absorbed.
Spanish-Style Quinoa
This quinoa dish is a delicious and higher protein alternative to Spanish rice. This is a nice side dish to a Mexican meal, or it can be used as a filling in burritos. I like my food on the less-salty side, so you may have to adjust the seasonings to your taste.
