Quinoa
I made quinoa (keen-wah) for the first time today. It was pretty good! This is a super healthy recipe. Low-calorie and low-fat. It looks kinda like barf, but it tastes good. If that's not a great endorsement, I don't know what is.

Haha it does look kinda funny but it tastes great! We've cooked it with some taco seasoning and used this recipe in place of beef in tacos.
