If you decide to try quinoa, Catherine, cook it with a tasty stock rather than just water. You can add some garlic too if you like. It will be nicer that way. It would be better to have a more tasty introduction to it.
Also, usually it recommends using 5 parts water to 1 part quinoa. But I find this makes it too mushy. I use 4 parts water instead, and for the last 5 minutes put the lid on so it steams rather than boils at the end. That way it has a little more texture but is fully cooked.
Half a cup of quinoa is usually enough for 1 portion. It doesn't look much in the cup but it expands.
