Toddler-friendly quinoa recipe?

[toesie]

the very simple one:
Cook quinoa in chicken broth till just about done, add some craisins, brocolli, salt to taste. Cook till brocolli/quinoa is done. Serve with some crushed almond on top.

That's probably not what you were talking about, but both my kids are eating quinoa today.

Disclaimer: my kids are not picky.

They both like these:
baked quinoa & chicken parm (have also made a pizza version of this thanks to darnkatz's rec and used turkey pepperoni, green peppers, mushrooms, etc.)
quinoa cakes
enchilada quinoa bake


This one DS2 has  not tried. DS1 had this twice, once he liked it and once he wasn't crazy about it.

I was going to recommend the first three! The pizza version is so good.

I make this one a lot, and my one year old loves it. I omit the cilantro and add in pepperoncini. Sometimes I add marinated artichokes. These cheesy black bean chipotle quinoa fritters are also a big hit and this cheesy broccoli quinoa casserole as well.

My kids aren't picky either, though, so take it FWIW.

I use quinoa when making stirfry and Nods and my husband love to down it in soy sauce.

I used it to make fried "rice". Both my kids love to pick out all the different pieces of veggies and egg.

DS loves plain quinoa cooked in chicken broth. Although he confuses it with "wice."

I like to mix it with black beans and serve with diced avocado on top.

DD1 has always loved the baked quinoa & chicken parm!

DD used to love quinoa and black bean quesadillas when she was in the early finger foods stage. Just mix cooked quinoa, some canned black beans and shredded cheese on a flour tortilla and cook 2-3 minutes on each side in a pan.
