Quinoa (pronounced keen-wa)

Last night Andy found a recipe in Jamie Oliver's cook book for a spicy couscous. I LOVE couscous but we also wanted to try a new grain we've been hearing a lot about lately called quinoa. It's been around forever and it was a staple in the diet of the Inca because it provides more protein than any other grain. It's also very versatile. So Andy substituted the couscous for quinoa and it was delicious!! Samantha chowed down on it as well but did think it was a bit spicy for her. Alex had one bite and shoved it aside. Oh well, gotta give him points for trying! Needless to say, we're going to find a bunch more recipes for this new grain of ours and if you are interested in this recipe we did (I thought you might be Maile since you posted about quinoa as well) then let me know and I'll email it to you.
