Mine sells it in a couple aisles in boxes but it's much more expensive that way. I think it was $5 per pound from the bulk section and a pound is a LOT of quinoa!

I cooked 1 cup of quinoa in 2 cups of chicken broth. When it was tender, I stirred in 1/2 cup (or so) of toasted sliced almonds and 3/4 - 1 cup Craisins. My 4 kids DEVOURED it - and two wanted me to make it the next day for breakfast. Wonder if I can add quinoa to pumpkin muffins....

Finally found it at - of all places - Costco. Of course it was a big bag and I was reluctant to buy it since I didn't even know if I liked it, but I'm glad I did. Much cheaper than buying at a specialty/health food store, and we've gone through it in under 2 months. My husband is not exactly one to try new things, but he's quite readily accepted quinoa as a rice substitute - if he can do it anyone can!

BUT I also found it the next isle over with the Jewish foods...larger boxes and less expensive :) If you can't find it near the rice and pastas, you might check one of the ethnic food sections. HTH Loretta,

A bit messy, with the topping scattering every which way, but they were edible to the end. Since I have the extra cup of quinoa, I intend on making these again, but adding walnuts and ginger this time. Oh, yeah, I also used the red quinoa for this. Goes into the cookbook. Thanks for posting. Hi, I made these last week with a rice cooker, following the basic recipe, but added a streusel topping to them.

Quinoa is on my list of new foods to try out and my husband asked me to jot down some recipes that sounded good for the family using it too. As soon as I find a grocery store near me that sells it we'll be having these muffins and a few side dishes using quinoa. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
