I love quinoa in a cold salad, adding texture and also my youngest daughter makes a tasty “pretend” fried rice dish with veggies and fried eggs, a sweet and sour, rice vinegar dressing!
I will come back and check on these recipes! Smiles, Robin 🌞

This is a good reminder for me to return to eating quinoa. I did so regularly for a while, but somehow got away from it. So healthy and versatile!

I’m curious about the black paper powder you are using. I’ve never heard of that. Do you mean black pepper powder (ground pepper)?
