Thank you Giada de Laurentiis! Your recipe was a hit.
I was watching The Food Network a couple weeks ago which I have been doing quite a bit lately and happened to stop on Giada’s show. She was making her Grilled Scallops with Orange Scented Quinoa and it looked tasty not to mention it looked like something simple enough for this NON cook to make.
We made one of the best meals we have had in a long time. It was so tasty we are still talking about it days later. We made quinoa burgers, pizza style. So it’s not an actual patty but rather the quinoa served up in the size of one without a top to the sandwich.
I am not the best at photos so don’t hold that against me. One day I’ll figure out how to take good photos but the taste will totally make up for it. I promise!
And if you want to learn more about quinoa benefits, I wrote about that too.
In honor of National Nutrition month, I wanted to talk about quinoa: benefits, what it is, how to make it, etc. I will tell you that I was not too fond of it when I had it in the past however we made a recipe with it the other night and I absolutely loved it.
I’m excited to use quinoa more! Gotta stock up.
And I just found out that quinoa is grain of the month for March. Perfect timing. And in case you are wondering, it’s pronounced KEEN-WAH.
