Try eating them raw and salt-free. I've found it's a great way to get the benefits but without the addictive-ness of regular nuts (except for pecans, I have issues with pecans in all forms!).Quote:

D: salad with spinach, whole wheat cous cous, butternut squash, with chipolte dressing... the recipe was supposed to be with quinoa, but I didn't have enough.
Doesn't matter 'cause I couldn't taste it anyway :(. That means it doesn't count, right?

Are you sick, She Fly?
I made it from scratch with quinoa flour. DEFINITELY overestimated how man potatoes I would need and was too lazy/hungry to dry the sweet potato fully in the oven after I scooped it so I had to add a LOT of flour to make them into a moldable rollable dough. So now I have enough sweet potato gnocchi for weeks to come! (I froze the ones I didn't eat). Then I just chopped the ends off the bacon, fried em up in a saute pan, turned off the heat and added chopped swiss chard and then tossed in the gnocchi after the chard was kind of par cooked. Realllly delicious.Quote:
