A new favorite side dish!

While Brent and Nicole were here they introduced us to this awesome new side dish! My nephew is avoiding wheat, as they think he has an allergy, and they have been experimenting with alternates.

We cooked it according to the directions on the back, but substituted chicken broth for the water. It cooks similar to rice.

It was different, but VERY good! Has a yummy grain taste to it!

Can't wait to add some chopped veggies to it!

They also have a Qinoa (keen-wa) pasta that we added pesto to and it was fantastic!

You couldn't tell it wasn't a wheat pasta!

My brother says it's the "Nephite" grain... LOL...though I can't remember how he knows that.

It is a great protein and I wish our local grocery store would keep it in stock!

YUM!!!

(It's on the top shelf at Macey's/Fresh Market in the pasta section if you want to try it!)

Two thumbs up!!
