* 1 cup quinoa, rinsed, with 1-1/2 cup water, bring to a boil, cover and simmer for 20 minutes. I don't know why but I've seen too many directions that call for more water and you end up with soggy and/or overcooked quinoa if you cook until all the water is absorbed.
* One of my go-to spice mixtures from Savory Spice Shop.
