I don't know if there are rules a about starting these threads.

Roasting a 4 lb. chicken on top of Brussels's Sprouts.

I bought some quinoa in a hippie flashback. I want to make a gravy and serve it like rice but I have real rice. How do I cook this dirt? Should I go back out and buy some granola and tofu?

I cook it in my rice cooker. Check the package to see if it's pre-rinsed. If not, rinse it or you will have a little bit of grittiness.

If I have chicken stock on hand, I cook the quinoa in the stock, but water is fine, too.

Don't be afraid, try it. It's good.

ETA: Sixteen bean soup with smoked sausage on the stove at Chez Hood.

Cook it like you would rice. Good choice, delicious healthy alternative.

Rinse it first in a strainer.

Love quiona! Rinse WELL before cooking. Cook it the same as rice... add rosemary or any herb if you want.

Family gathering where they are cooking chicken and sausage gumbo... they said they would be baking some sweet potatoes for me

If they forget, I'll just have some lasagna when I get back home.

Chicken breasts sliced really thin. Breaded and pan fried in a black iron skillet. Perfect for sammiches or side dish.

Also made fresh potato salad and green peas with butter and corn bread.

Got leftover roast with rice and gravy.

The fridge is full and I'm going golfing this week before winter comes.
