Quinoa recipes, healthy crap

I'm trying to eat more Quinoa and barley instead of rice.
I noticed quinoa often has raisins in it on salad buffets. So that's really the only way I've been eating it. I was just trying to get some ideas of easy solo meals with quinoa.
I'm not vegan vegetarian but I'm helping a doctor friend with a study and I can't eat pork or beef or dairy for 60 days.

Have you tried couscous?

No

It’s not bad. Juice an orange and cook it in the juice.

Cook quinoa, roast some veggies (onions, peppers, carrots, or whatever combo you have in the fridge) and mix everything together.

Look into farro as a rice substitute instead. Higher in fiber and protein, lower in carbs.

Before I discovered that my body doesn't process oxalic acid efficiently, I ate a lot of quinoa.
I would take a 3-4oz chicken breast, slice it in half, length ways, grill it, and chop it. Then saute garlic, shallots, mushrooms and spinach, add cooked quinoa and grilled chicken. I'd eat it every day for lunch and loved it.
That's before I got kidney stones from foods high oxalates.

I worry about stuff like that. But I also used to drink 12 cooked a day and never had kidney stones so I feel like I'm safe there.
I'm only drinking water, juice, tea and dairy alternatives. I like Oat milk.
I had lost a lot of weight after my divorce. Then I put it all back on after summer. Trying to lose it all again but maintain this time with better habits.
A friend of mine who is a nutrionist is writing a book on heart health. I decided to follow her program.
But she wants me off dairy, pork, beef and sugar and go low sodium for at least 2 months.
Giving up the salt has been the hardest but my blood pressure has been hard to control lately so I need to make this change.

We do “Mexican quinoa bowls” often. Add drained corn, drained black beans, a can of green chilis, chopped cherry tomatoes, fresh cilantro, & raw red onion to a bowl. Season w/ salt and & pepper. Cook chicken (season w/ taco packet or those type of ingredients). Chop up chicken and add everything to cooked quinoa. Squirt lime juice on top and season as needed

There are a few lemon quinoa spinach recipes

Make a burrito bowl. Same ingredients at any restaurant but swap rice for quinoa

The divorce diet is great, short term, but it's not sustainable and hard to maintain.
Your nutritionist seems extreme but I guess it could work, short term.

Isn’t quinoa pretty much the same as rice

It's mostly because of my hypertension more than weight. My normal blood pressure sends doctors into a panic.
I'm medicated but still high and by high BP I mean scary high.
I've gotten it to almost normal, but for years I was 200/130+ on average.
My cuff would give error.
I spent my 30s laughing it off because I had no issues.
The only way to correct damage is with an extreme change in diet and likely eventually a surgery.
If I don't see positive change in 60 days, I don't lose anything.
But my main goal is to learn to crave healthy foods and avoid my live for pizza and burgers and fried foods.

We do something similar but with a Greek flavor. We change up the protein/marinade, but something similar to this is always pretty simple. Mediterranean Steak and Quinoa Bowl
Since you aren't doing pork or beef, you could use chicken or another protein.

I use quinoa to make mock Chipotle bowls.
Quinoa base, grilled/air fried chicken, fajita veggies, pico, cheese, etc
High protein
