The easiest way to have your kids eat quinoa

My children will not eat straight up quinoa. But they will if it is mixed in their rice! Just add a cup or two of quinoa with your rice and cook it and serve it as it was rice! I usually do 3 cups brown, 2 cups rice, and one cup quinoa, but I plan to gradually add more quinoa. You can put it straight into your rice cooker!

Quinoa is wheat and gluten free and a good source of protein. I buy a four pound bag of Organic Nature's Earthly Choice quinoa at Costco.

Thank you, dear Sara for the tip. Our rice has never been the same!
