I like the idea of combining quinoa with other grains too. I just had one of those little videos pop up on my e-mail today touting the benefits of eating quinoa! It sounds great.

I want to pester you a bit here though, back before you took your break you posted some scrumptious looking pictures and I was hoping you would share the recipe(s) sometime. The idea of an agave based frosting really intrigues me and those cinnamon rolls looked delicious. Hopefully you will share those recipes sometime so the rest of us can enjoy them too! Thanks!

I've added your recipe to my list at the end of each post :) . Jenny Wren, Grain salads are wonderful--and keep much better than lettuce for Day 2! Thanks for the link--I've added it to my list. Shellyfish, I guess I'm still trying to force spring to appear. . . Well, the quinoa in France (lucky you!) sounds beautiful. Lisa, So glad you're convinced!

Vegan Noodle, Thanks! Nice to know I'm not alone in the non-rinsing department (and it does taste just fine anyway, doesn't it??). Lizzie, It's definitely quinoa/buckwheat fate! Let me know how you like it if you do try it. And thanks so much for your kind words (I'm blushing. . .) :) . Veggie Girl, Thanks! I think it tastes pretty good, too ;) . Lucy,

Jenny Wren,
Grain salads are wonderful–and keep much better than lettuce for Day 2! Thanks for the link–I’ve added it to my list.

Shellyfish,

Glad you enjoyed the post--it's always fun to write about favorite foods :) . Johanna, I'm ashamed to say I've never tried any but the regular, "beige" quinoa--but Lisa's comment, below, contains some great pointers about the different colors. I hope you do give it a try; it's a wonderful grain! Choccoveredvegan, Thanks! I'm glad that my affection for both lasted this long! Happy Herbivore, That's great! Glad to hear it. :) Courtney, I had the same problem re: rinsing (I lost most of it!). If I do remember to rinse these days, I fill a bowl with water and swish it around, then just spill off the excess water from the top. Seems to work. Lisa, Thanks for the info--I had no idea! Looking forward to trying your croquettes (with the light quinoa!). Kathryn, Thanks so much! I think this is my favorite use for buckwheat, even though I do love it on its own. But the two seem to go very well together. Ramona,
