Cooking Tips
🌾 Quinoa
- Rinse quinoa before cooking to remove the bitter saponin coating.
- Use a 1:2 ratio of quinoa to water, simmer for 15 minutes.
- Fluff with a fork after cooking and let it sit covered for 5 minutes.
Nutrition: Complete protein with all 9 essential amino acids. One cup cooked has 8g protein and 5g fiber.
Storage: Cooked quinoa keeps 5-7 days refrigerated. Dry quinoa lasts 2-3 years.
🧀 Cheese
- Bring cheese to room temperature 30 minutes before serving for best flavor.
- Grate your own cheese — pre-shredded contains anti-caking agents that affect melting.
- Add cheese at the end of cooking on low heat to prevent it from becoming rubbery.
Nutrition: High in calcium, protein, and phosphorus. Varies by type — mozzarella is lower fat, cheddar is higher.
Storage: Wrap in parchment paper, then plastic wrap. Hard cheeses last weeks; soft cheeses use within days.
