I have a little secret. Quinoa is not really a grain. It’s a seed. But it looks, tastes and feels like a grain, and everyone is calling it a ‘super grain’ so I think we are OK to call it that too. Whether you want to call it a seed or a grain is really up to you, but I strongly recommend you try the recipes on EatSavvy this month. They are seriously super!
I am a relatively new fan of quinoa so I was pleasantly surprised when our food editor, Denise Smith rounded up these four very different ways to enjoy it. I didn’t know how diverse this little super food was but I am quite sure my family will enjoy each one of the recipes—from a hot steamy morning cereal to a hearty chili on a cold winter night. I wish I knew about the warm quinoa with fruit when my kids were younger as I know I would have used that as an option for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
Try this protein-rich ingredient in your meals this week—it will make you feel good.

Quinoa, is an excellent source of protein and many people are unaware of it’s nutritional values.
Just make sure you drain it really well.
Love the chili recipe, going to try and make it in my
crockpot - to save time….
