In my Veg Kitchen: Quinoa brittle 

Quinoa is the grain that keeps on giving.

Ever try quinoa brittle? All my omnivore and herbivore friends agree – it is a crowd pleaser. As you know I don’t bake often but this seemed easy enough. I whipped up a batch to surprise Brent and Sona. Let’s just say the quinoa brittle did not last long.

I didn’t stray too much from the original recipe that I found online. Although I did go overboard with the chia seeds when I clumsily spilled half a bag into the mixture. Next time (as always) I will pay a little closer attention. I would also switch out the pecans with another nut. They are just so bloody expensive but oh so good!

So if you want to try a different treat, why not whip up a batch of quinoa brittle? Your friends and family will love you more.
