I love quinoa...do you think it would be as good with chocolate almond milk instead of soy milk? Or would that be too much with the almond extract? Sounds great.

Since he had a heart stent put in about a year ago he has been eating healthy and hating every minute of it. Well, we made this for breakfast yesterday and He said and I quote, "It's not nasty!!" He said he would eat it again. Believe me Roni, this is a major compliment. Thanks again for sharing your recipes. Roni, Congratulations, my boyfriend liked this!!!

Actually, it was my first taste of quinoa as I had not had it before and I wanted to try it. This was very good and chocolatey. I cannot wait to try quinoa as a rice replacement.

And the Quinoa does have a little firmness to it so that may be what you are tasting. Have you had it before?Anyone else having this problem? LOL I don’t think there is a quick vs. regular.

The flavor was good but something about the texture.... Is there such thing as quick cooking Quinoa vs. regular ( like old fashion and quick oats??)While I love using this grain, mine always seems to take forever to cook....am I doing something wrong?
