Quick and Easy Quinoa

Even breakfast-phobes won't mind eating the most important meal of the day if they can have these hearty, sweet and moist cookies. They boast the flavors of carrot cake with the nutritional goodness of quinoa, dates, carrot, pecans and oats.

Cooking these vegetarian quinoa burgers in a skillet gives the edges a yummy, unexpected crunch. Kids will really go for the melty cheese and ultra-mild spice.

Sweet and tangy dressing makes this honey mustard-spiked quinoa salad easy on the palate. Serve it as a side dish or as a light meatless main.

This is one of those recipes you'll pull out again and again... until you memorize it. (It's really that simple.) Serve this pilaf instead of rice, potatoes, or any other starchy side.

This recipe is a cross between a frittata and pepperoni pizza with a little quinoa snuck in for an added fiber boost. Serve with a green salad for a complete meal.
