I finished it on the stove and we'll have it tonight. A little too much cumin - which is probably diluted more when cooked in the pot. I also didn't use chicken, because I don't have any.

That's strange GN. I followed it exactly except for leaving out the chicken. I have a smaller instant pot--just 5 quarts I think--but that shouldn't matter.

We really liked this.
Didn't work for me - I got some "error" message.  I dumped it out of the Instant Pot and am simmering it on the stove top.  The quinoa was cooked through, and the sweet potatoes still hard.  I think the tomatoes should have gone in at the end.

A really light meal is a spaghetti squash dish I make with chopped tomatoes, feta, kalamata olives, and I'll have to think what else.

Also: baked rellenos. Yum. We make them twice a month at least.

Frittata and salad.

When you think what else you put with the spaghetti squash add it here. Sounds good.

I'm working on finding more meatless meals. With this, since I wasn't sure how it would be, I made some chicken sausage with it. DH ate 2 sausages, I ate half of one and dd didn't eat any. I think next time I can just make the quinioa, but I may need to double it or at least 1.5 it. Most of my meatless meals are either bean-based, heartier meals for winter (chili, lentils and brown rice) or heavy pasta meals which I also prefer in winter. It's nice to have something for summer.

I made this tonight and everyone liked it. Dd (who loves mango) said she didn't really think it needed the mango, or that it didn't go, but I loved every bite I got with mango. I think it's a key ingredient. I would use less cilantro next time. Cilantro just has such a strong flavor, so I don't think it needs as much.

I make something like this, with, or without a grain, and love it.  I don't follow a recipe, but dice cucumbers, tomatoes, red onion, maybe sweet red peppers, and do a lemon/red vino/EVOO dressing.  From there, I might add chick peas, or use it to top salad greens.

Made the Greek salad tonight.

I only put in half of the basil....and it was to much. Otherwise, we both enjoyed it.

Recipe on package of Quinoa I have. I think I'm going to try it, but will leave out mint as DH really doesn't like it. I wonder if Italian dressing would taste OK. I'm not to fond of olive oil.

Greek Quinoa Salad

Ingredients:
1 cup quinoa, cooked
1/2 cup diced cucumber
1/2 cup diced tomatoes
2 tsp basil

What store do you buy it in Space?
We find it at Superstore/Loblaws, in the 'health/specialty food' aisles.  Close to the Camino chocolate chips...  :happydance:
