Good luck Luz! Are you feeling any better? I am so sorry :( Sounds like you are on the right path.

Hey- do you have any quinoa recipes?

From luzylew on Sun, Oct 12, 2008 at 11:20:40

I love the texture that quinoa adds to OTHER grains. I've never eaten it all by itself. But my favorite is to cook it half and half with brown rice or couscous (butter and chicken bullion cube to flavor). I use couscous in the summer with tomatoes, cucumbers and zuccini (lime & greek yogurt dresing) but in winter with chicken (satueed onion fresh ginger & carrots) and currants. Brown rice and Quiona go with anything. I hardly even cook rice anymore without quinoa. Let me know how you cook it. Good stuff.

So if i cook it with the rice, do I just measure the water like I do for the rice?

I LOVE couscous!!! Now the couscous cooks so instantly, does the quinoa? Or do you cook the quinoa and add it too the cooked couscous?

THANK YOU LUZY!!! Are you feeling any better? :)

with the couscous, I do cook the quinoa separately for a bit(like you would rice-- only less water for only about 5-10 minutes). I have a friend who mixes couscous and quinoa together-- and then adds the boiling broth/water. I find the quinoa a little crunchy and undercooked that way (but she says it feels like bulgar to her). As far as my hip and lower back. I have a freaking mess going on in there and am going for an X-Ray tommorrow, but then an MRI too. It still hurts me to do random stuff, like turn over in bed, sit on a hard chair, and of course....run. Hopefully the PT people will show me what to do to both treat and prevent further injury in that area. But I thik some of it has to do with scar tissue built up in my lower pelvis over the past year that has gone haywire and attatched itself to lower back and hip ligaments --thus the MRI. I can't even bring myself to blog these days since I have nothing to do but walk and feel sorry for myself. I'll feel better once I have a masterplan. Also, dull, shooting pain sort of saps my energy. So yeah, it sucks. But it sure takes my mind off things to dole out quinoa advice! So thanks for that bit of therapy!

Thank you so much for answering my silly questions. So you boil the quinoa for 5-10, then add the couscous? Voila! I am very hungry!

I am so sorry about your back and hip/pelvis mess :( It is just tragic. Hang in there. I can't wait to hear what all of the result say. I hope they can give you some answers and some solutions ;)
