FYI: Incase you didn't know Quinoa is sooooo GOOD for you!! A great source of Vitamins and minerals, as well as fiber and protein! Quinoa is a complete protein which means that it contains all of the essential Amino acids! It's also great for those GLUTEN free people!! So try it out! Try trading it out for White rice or even brown rice.
Recipe....
2 cups of Quinoa
4 cups of water or chicken broth
Combine in slow cooker
Cook for 2 hrs or until Quinoa is of your consistency liking..
Then toss in...
1 can of diced Spicy hot tomatoes
2 cups of kale
1 cup of carrots
1 cup of peppers
16 oz of Large Cooked Shrimp
2 tsp Old Bay
2 tsp Tabasco Sauce
1/2 tsp of Cayenne Pepper
1 tsp Cajun Seasoning
Dash of Curry powder
Cook for another 2 hours on Low
Looks Kinda Sloppy...But tastes really GOOD! :)
