Quinoa can be used in so many ways and is the perfect part of any dinner for any occasion, weeknight, or something special!
I LOVE quinoa. I love its taste. I love its versatility. I love everything about it. Even though quinoa isn’t technically a “whole grain”, it is considered to be a pseudograin since it is actually a seed, it has many of the properties of whole grains. Quinoa is known for being higher in protein and fiber, providing 8 grams of protein and at least 5 grams of fiber per cup!
There are a wide variety of types and colors of quinoa – all of which can be used in the recipes below. Quinoa can be made with almost any dinner recipe because of its versatility and ability to absorb flavor, making it delicious and nutritious.
Below you will find recipes for skillet meals, casseroles, soups, and more!
Tag me if you make any of these! I love to see what you guys make! You can tag me on Insta @hungryhobbyRD and Facebook @hungryhobby!
