This recipe for quinoa with seeds started with simply adding sunflower seeds… then I must have started channeling a sparrow or something & went a little seed crazy…lol. Since quinoa is actually a seed as well, this could have been aptly named a bowl o’ seeds, but calling it “seedy” was the only thing that [...]
I wasn’t really planning a vegetarian theme here on Mom Foodie, but as I was writing up this carrot quinoa recipe, I realized that no meat has shown up in my recipes in almost two weeks. I guess Easter approaching has inspired me to make rabbit food…lol. No fears, my carnivorous friends, I have no [...]
I sometimes toss together vegetarian quinoa recipes for dinner, when I don’t feel like dealing with cooking meat. This Buttermilk Quinoa Casserole with Portabella Mushrooms came together last night on a whim. While I made it as a casserole, the quinoa could just as easily be simmered on the stove top, with the cheese stirred [...]
This light vegetarian Poblano-Lime Quinoa recipe makes a quick and versatile entree or side dish. The recipe can be served either hot or cold and is both gluten-free and vegan too. In the pictures, it is being served cold as a salad. Last night I had this quinoa warm with some spicy grilled shrimp on [...]
Like many of you, I both have Thanksgiving leftovers overflowing my fridge, and feel the need to eat a bit lighter, post-Feastie. Luckily, I had a couple guy friends over who made a huge dent in the holiday desserts, and one of them came back on Friday to “help me out”, by “getting rid of [...]
Hazelnut-Truffle Oil Quinoa is an easy recipe, that teams the flavor of truffles with nuts from their favorite tree to grow under. Yeah, I thought I was pretty clever with that one…lol. This vegan quinoa recipe is hearty enough to serve as an entree itself, but pairs nicely with grilled portabella, salmon (as shown here [...]
I am always coming up with new quinoa recipes. It is a very popular ingredient around here. A friend came over right as I was photographing this Prosciutto Garlic and Pecan Quinoa, and he loves the stuff, so he got to eat the “subject”. This easy quinoa recipe is flavorful enough to serve as an [...]
This quinoa recipe is inspired by the colors and flavors of fall. I was lucky enough to have a yellow pepper on hand, and due to my daughter’s near addiction to sweet potatoes, those are pretty much always available here. I love sun-dried tomato in my quinoa, so that seemed an obvious choice to round [...]
This Creamy Chicken Quinoa Recipe features mushrooms, bacon and herbs. It is both gluten and dairy free, and despite the inclusion of bacon is actually pretty low fat, as well. In most of my quinoa recipes I use precooked quinoa, but in this one dry is used. It was still done in a reasonable amount [...]
Quinoa Risotto is a perfect vegetarian dish, especially since this pseudo-grain has many proteins not usually found in other vegetables and grains. Adding the earthy flavors of mushrooms and eggplant give the dish a hearty “meaty” feel, and sweet peppers and onions add color and flavor. With the current bounty of vegetables, it is the [...]
