Hey, some of you mentioned quinoa and chickpea recipies and i was wondering if you would want to share your favorites? I cut out starch awhile ago so i use veggies in place of noddles and rice, but I am always open to trying new things!

Also, any new suggestions for sneaking veggies in a meal? FI only eats spinach and morel mushrooms (weird, I know.) I slip turnips in his potatos sometimes, cauliflower into mashed potatoes, pureed carrots and mushrooms or zucchinni and onion in spaghetti sauce, and turnips, leeks and rutabags into soups. Does anyone else do this??

LOL No.. No I don't slip in veggies to my husbands food..

He knows they are good for him and enjoys many vegetables.

Quinoa is my best friend, though.

haha alright! I will get cracking on these

Any of them mak a great potluck dish?

firsttimersluck · June 2012

For potlucks I always bring finger foods.

People just.. appreciate it more because then they can grab-and-go. For that I would suggest doing a spin on bruschetta with quinoa.. Thing tomatoes, basil, quinoa, cheese (if you're non-vegan) and balsamic vinegar and a little oil on toasted french bread.. mm.. soo good..

If you're really wanting to a big batch of something, though.. I would do something that people KNOW like fried rice only with quinoa

Wow firsttimers-thanks for sharing!

Here are my favorites right now-

I swap in quinoa for the couscous: http://www.fortheloveofcooking.net/2008/03/parmesan-couscous-with-roasted-garlic.html

http://www.twopeasandtheirpod.com/cilantro-lime-quinoa/ (but be careful not to overdo it on the lime)

And my all-time favorite: http://www.thekitchn.com/recipe-chickpea-casserole-with-137473 (but I skip the breadcrumbs and some of the cheese, and it's still great)
