I've been addicted to quinoa lately ever since I got a giant bag from Costco. It satisfies my comfort food cravings while I feel good about eating it! Quinoa tastes like a grain but it's actually a seed. It is high in protein and fiber and packed with nutrients!
I was getting bored with eating it as a salad. Seems like salad is the only way people know of. I think there are endless way to eat quinoa. I had some cream cheese that I had to finish so I came up with this!
As usual, I inhaled the whole bowl before I could take a picture....-_-"
Ingredients
1 cup Quinoa
2 cups Water
1 1/2 tbsp Cream Cheese (regular or light)
1 tsp minced Garlic
1 cup mushrooms sliced
Salt and Pepper to taste
Directions
- Cook quinoa with the water until fluffy.
- Sautee mushrooms with garlic, salt and pepper.
- Mix quinoa, mushrooms and cream cheese in a bowl until everything is coated in creamy goodness. Volia!
Tastes so similar to a risotto but so much easier to make! Best of all, so much healthier, especially, if you use light cream cheese!
