This is an EXCELLENT recipe and a perfect addition to my weight loss nutrition regimen! I prepared it pretty much by the directions (except 1 cup/2 cups quinoa/water) and it was absolutely delicious. My roommate is an excellent cook and very particular about what she eats and even SHE loved it! Thx! - 4/19/11
