50 healthy quinoa recipes
I have been so excited to share this round-up with you all, that I decided to post it a day early! I have been pulling together quinoa recipes for weeks, and I am bursting at the seams with them. It was one of those times when I just couldn’t stop, and before you know it I had fifty photographs and recipe links!Only a few of these came from my own recipe archives. The rest are from blogging friends. I was blown away by how many different ways everyone has been cooking with quinoa. You’ll find a basic tutorial on how to cook quinoa (#8) all the way to decadent chocolate cake (#40.) 
Some of the top on my list to try are Quinoa Chowder with Sweet Potatoes and Spinach (#34), Cauliflower Quinoa Patties (#36) and Smothered Quinoa and Chicken Skillet (#42.) Which one of these fifty will you try first?
Please leave me a message below letting me know which looks good to you, and don’t forget to pin for later!
