Posted by on Apr 19, 2017 in blog, blogs, recipes

Quinoa is a fabulous grain. It’s certainly Mr. Popular right now – we will expand on it in later posts, but for now we think you should try this delicious grain & recipe. Real quick – why we LOVE quinoa: It contains all 9 essential amino acids (building blocks of protein)  and it has two times the fiber of most grains. That is great news for those of us that are vegans & vegetarians. We can get plenty of the desired protein from grains & veggies – thank you Mother Nature!

Experiment with adding other ingredients, like sun-dried tomatoes, sausage, pepperoni, or mushrooms. Just be sure to chop everything very fine so muffins hold together.
