Quinoa super food

Quinoa wasn't something I knew about a year ago but I am so glad I found out about this amazing nutty grain, packed with omega 3's, fiber and protein.
You really can't go wrong with dropping the pasta and grabbing some of this instead.
My recipie for the southwestern Parmesan chicken quinoa is easy and fast.
Bust out that George Forman and get to grilling while rinsing the quinoa in cold water-to decrease sappoines on the outside of the grain which give it a bitter taste.
-use 2 cups of water for every cup of quinoa your cooking.
-bring to a boil
-add quinoa and stir occasionally
-once the quinoa is done and slightly crunchy mix in Southwestern Mayonaise then sprinkles Parmesan over the quinoa and chicken.

-Enjoy!
