the hubby & i tried quinoa... we both had a very hard time swallowing it down. even when cooked in chicken stock it just had little to no flavor... spices & herbs added - still hardly enough flavor... it just wasn't that great. any ideas? i would love to incorporate it into a daily diety routine, but.. ugh. I can't handle bland flavor for very long
@ibkristykat No, you definitely don't want to have to force yourself to eat it! I usually use broth instead of stock-not sure how that impacts the flavor. There is something called Better than Bouillon that adds a ton of flavor. I usually don't eat quinoa alone-so try mixing it in a salad or topping it with grilled veggies. Yum!
@jojojulyful Old fashioned oats are less processed than quick cooking oats. Try to use old fashioned if you have time, but if not, quick cooking are just fine!
@canadianwoman1961 Yes, quinoa is gluten free and is a complete protein (it has all of the essential amino acids). I also cook this in broth to flavor it up!
oh i def want to see how you make quinoa and couscous and other more unusual grains for sure!
i use quick cooking oats in meatloaf instead of breadcrumbs or pieces. I was never sure if the old fashioned ones would cook enough in the meatloaf so i havent tried them (do you know?) Didnt wanna waste all that meat with undercooked oats in it!

@orlendatube Oats absorb moisture very easily, so you should be okay:) Make sure you post a comment to let us know how it turned out!
