    I never knew you could make desserts with quinoa! I've only mixed it in salads but now I'm glad I know that there are other options too.

    These recipes show just how versatile quinoa is! I can't wait to incorporate it in more dishes.

    I haven't cooked with quinoa yet, but now I want to now that I've seen these awesome recipes.

    Quinoa is one of my favorite things to cook with (and eat)! Thanks for the great recipes!

    Thanks for all the ideas. I can always use some more dinner options.

    I've been cooking with quinoa for awhile, but I never thought of baking with it. Think I'll have to try now!
