raisins – Loving Food, Fashion, & Life

Made with quinoa, milk, water, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, salt, honey, vanilla extract, egg white, and raisins.

So I tried a quinoa recipe. I don’t get a chance to make quinoa very much mainly because my taste buds haven’t found a way to really like it too swell. I think you have to find the right mix of ingredients to make it taste divine.

I’m sure quinoa is lovely if you find the right way to make it. I’ve just been an unlucky soul in that department. Or maybe I don’t like quinoa like I thought I did. I do have to say that the sweetness of the raisins helped loads with the taste. Just pile on the raisins, people!

I did make a quinoa recipe a couple of years ago as a side dish for dinner. I can’t remember the ingredients mixed with it, but it was edible.

I think anyone that likes quinoa, overall, will like this recipe. I, on the other hand, have no plans to make this recipe again. But it was an interesting experiment in the kitchen, nonetheless.

So, if you have nothing else to do today, see if you can make a dish of quinoa that will knock the socks off my taste buds.

Take-Away Life Lesson: Sometimes you have to experiment over and over to get a dish to taste just the way you like it. Or maybe quinoa just isn’t for everyone.
