80 Quinoa Recipes — breakfast, vegetarian, salads, soups and even desserts! You could eat quinoa all day, every day. If you wanted to.
Some may call it a fad food like kale, but it’s a delicious and healthy staple in our pantry. (So is kale, for that matter.) We eat it often. Soups, salads, and all the usual places you’d find quinoa. But our favorite are quinoa pancakes. They’re the best — and a protein packed breakfast. I try to always have cooked quinoa in the freezer on hand for some quick meals. Enjoy this list! What is your favorite use for quinoa?

Less ads, more pictures. Your site is covered in ads and its quite annoying. Plus each one of those links should have an image.
Rachel Gurk says
The ads help me pay to keep my website running – a site which is free for you to use. I spend tons of money developing recipes, paying for web hosting, and countless other expenses. If there are too many, there are plenty of other websites available with recipes but I think you’ll find ads on most of those too. Take care.
