Keith says
WTH? No measurements in the ingredients? One quinoa? Does that mean 1 grain? 2 fresh spinach sliced... 2 leaves?
Jenn says
Ha ha! OMG! The measurements are in the post twice - they somehow got omitted in the recipe card. Thanks for pointing that out to me!
Bill says
Not a quinoa fan. What could be used as a substitute?
Jennifer says
You can use couscous, rice, buckwheat or farroh too!
