Quinoa Why Have I Waited So Long

I have seen and heard so many people talk and post about Quinoa lately.  I kept saying I must try this but never tried any.  Until today!  Oh my......what was I waiting for?  This stuff is awesome!  So yummy and healthy too!

I thought it was going to be hard to fix too.  Nope easy peasy.  I boiled 1/4 cup in chicken broth for about 15 minutes.  Fluffed it with a fork after it boiled.  While it was boiling I chopped the tops off three big tomatoes and scrapped the insides out and discarded them.  I chopped the tops up and mixed in a little bit of cheddar shredded cheese and some grated Parmesan.  After the quinoa was boiled I added it to the tomato/cheese mix and stuffed the tomatoes.  I baked them for about 15 minutes at 350.  Soooooo good.  I had some marinated mushrooms and green beans too. I'm saving the third tomato for a snack tomorrow!  I can not wait to see what I'm going to make next with quinoa!  Stay tuned as I will post those creations here too!
