I loved this. I used bacon bits which were easier that cooking bacon and it was so yummy!

First time eating and cooking quinoa, and I thought it was SUPER good and EASY to make. Made it with no bacon and as a side to baked chicken.

I made this today... I only rated it as fair since the recipe (as is) is really only a good "starting point" to build from - in my opinion, it's not a complete recipe. I modified the original recipe by adding: fresh sliced mushrooms, 1/4 c Parmesan cheese, 1/4 c toasted slivered almonds, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 clove of garlic (minced), 1/2 tsp paprika and salt/pepper to taste.

Made this recipe tonight. I replaced the quinoa with brown rice I had on hand. It was good, but very bland, especially before the cheese and bacon, seemed like it was missing something- spices, more veggies, or a sauce perhaps. Otherwise good, very filling.
