Quinoa Recipes

Quinoa, a protein-packed grain, is versatile and easy to work with—and it's gluten-free! There are endless savory recipes you can make with this super food, and now you have a simple, sweet, healthy breakfast option, as well. What better way to start your day (or your kid's day), than with a bowl full of nutrient-rich, hot cereal? This is perfect on chilly fall or winter mornings. Whip it up as a quick weekday breakfast, or savor slowly on a lazy Sunday morning.

I love a delicious snack in the summer. Something cool, refreshing, or fruit-based is is the best.

In the summer I like dinners that are light and polite.

The upcoming Memorial Day weekend marks the start of summer and the beginning of BBQ season. There’s no better way to kick things off than by spicing up the staple foods of summer. First up, burgers! The twist? Hold the beef.

With Memorial Day round the corner it is officially time to start thinking about burger recipes.

I am quickly learning how much I love cooking quinoa. There is no end to the ways I can dress it up and serve it to my family.

There are tons of delicious quinoa recipes out there, but here are three of our favorites on Momtastic. Any one of these 3 quick and easy recipes will provide a great way to enjoy this healthful grain.

With all of us underway with new year's resolutions I thought we would talk about a few lightened up meals today.

I just love a salad that's hearty enough to be a meal! Don't you? 

Finding healthy "snacks" for older babies can be quite a challenge.

Since I became a mother, I’ve had constant peaks and valleys in my mom confidence – my momfidence? – and I suspect that most mothers (and parents, but particularly mothers) feel the same way.

This makes a great dinner in thirty minutes!  I always love a one-pot meal,  like this Glazed Salmon Bowl with Pineapple Quinoa, that includes as many food groups as possible -- and this one is also chock full of nutrients and flavor!

I love oatmeal – a lot – and so do my kids. What’s not to like? It’s delicious, nutritious, quick and can be made to suit almost any tastes. 

Valentine's Day is a great holiday!  It's all about love, after all so what better way to start the day than with these yummy Valentine's Day pancakes!!

It's official! Quinoa flour is now my favorite gluten-free flour for baking!  It can be trying to create a gluten-free baked good that doesn't taste "off" in some way.  Know what I mean? 

Quinoa is one of those foods that you might not have tried before.  Once you try it, though, you'll be thrilled to discover that it is quite delicious!
 

I'm just loving quinoa flour!  It's fantastic for gluten-free baking and cooking -- it's incredibly healthy and makes absolutely delicious, light, and moist creations.  
 

This my favorite gluten-free baked item I've made to date! Quinoa flour is great, and here it makes for a light, flavorful, and deliciously sweet muffin!
