Thanks for the link up! All of these quinoa recipes look absolutely amazing – I can’t wait to try some of them 🙂
I can’t wait to try your bars! They look amazing and like they have the perfect chewy crunchy contrast. I can’t wait to try them, can’t beat a healthy dessert.
I absolutely love quinoa. Quinoa granola is one of my faves and always in my pantry!
I love it too! My standard granola recipe is almost out and then I’m going to try quinoa granola. I can’t wait.
So many great recipes to choose from! Thank you for sharing mine as well. I am going to check out some of the other recipes, especially the Chocolate Dipped Quinoa Coconut Bars – yum!!
I know! It makes me hungry looking over the list. I think that recipe looks great as well. Your no bake cookies sound amazing, and with how hot it is a treat that doesn’t require an oven is nice.
I love quinoa, in fact I am eating it in a salad this moment as I type!
This fabulous roundup of quinoa recipes will keep me eating quinoa for days! I like to make a savory Curried Quinoa Pilaf.
So glad I found your post on Thank Goodness It’s Monday. All the best!
Oooo, that sounds amazing! I love curry flavors. Thanks for stopping by!
What a great resource! Thank you!
Your welcome! I love quinoa so it was fun to go hunting for yummy looking recipes.

Thanks and you’re welcome! I love quinoa so it was fun to go searching for yummy looking recipes.
Quinoa is a staple in my house. I even get the kids to eat it. Sometimes they call it “weird rice” 🙂 This is a great roundup of recipes. Totally pinning it!
Thanks for joining the Mixing Bowl Party this month!
Love that you guys eat lots of quinoa! Love “weird rice”, that’s an awesome thing to call it. What’s your guys’ favorite way to eat it? My husband still isn’t a lover, but he tolerates it. Hopefully someday he’ll come around all the way. 🙂
what a great list! Thanks for linking it up with us for MMM link up party! I am going to try some of these out!
Thanks for hosting! I had a great time hunting down recipes from the list. I’ve enjoyed trying ones on there too. Quinoa is yummy!
Thanks for sharing, my husband and I love quinoa. My daughter isn’t so sure! I found your blog @ Works for me Wednesday. I would love it if you shared a post at my new linky party: http://www.joyfocusedlearning.com/2013/11/anything-goes-link-up-1.html
It’s the opposite in our house – my daughter and I like it and my husband tolerates it. 🙂 Some of the recipes are bound to be homeruns with him though, right?

Thanks for all the links. Some of these recipes sound delicious!
Thanks for stopping by! There are some really good ones.
Have you had a chance to try many of these? We use a lot of Quinoa – it has definitely helped my husband ( a huge lover of white rice) to bring his blood sugar to normal and get off of diabetes medicines. Would love to hear if others have tried any of these and about their successes and failures.

I’ve made the Slow Cooker Quinoa Chili, loved the Brown Butter Garden Pasta (can’t skip the sage though, it makes the dish), Crispy Quinoa Bake (I really liked it my husband just thought it was okay), Balsamic Chicken with Quinoa and vegetables (both like this one), Curry Chicken Quinoa with peas (both like), Lime Cilantro Qunioa Salad (I love this and easy to adapt. Wouldn’t be one of my husband’s favorites, so I make it for lunch), Quinoa Pizza Bites (these were just so so). I feel like I’ve made a few others, but I’m not sure which right now. You’ll have to let me know if you try any and how they are!
Thank you for this list!! I’ve been trying to come up with more quinoa recipes…these sound great! Can’t wait to try them.
Thanks, Marla! There are a ton of yummy recipes on here. Quinoa is a fun food.
