I don’t have any quinoa flakes, but I do have whole quinoa. I wonder how it would taste if I ground the quinoa in my grain grinder, soaked it, and make cookies? Has anyone tried it? If I do – I’ll be sure to post here and let you know how it comes out.

I’m looking for a recipe using quinoe to make bread, maybe brown rice could be worked in also, but I want it to be gluten free, do you know of any recipes that I could try?

Kirsten,
I totally relate to the whole pasta /bread thing. I love mine as well. We actually use rice pasta. Tinkyada is the best brand we have found. We have served it to guests and they haven’t even known the difference with a yummy sauce on it. Bread is a little harder. I try to eat yeastless bread. I have made my own sourdough bread and that has been really good. The advantages are that I can soak it for longer periods of time to make it more digestible. I have also gotten rye, yeastless bread at the store. I have enjoyed that as well.Sometimes when I have been off bread I have made more whole grain muffins or biscuits to fill the void. These were soaked and yeastless free, but still made from flour. There is one muffin that I am working with right now that is made with cooked whole grain. I have liked that.

I also try to make more whole grained dishes and have found that has help me cut down on my bread intake. I am hoping to share some of those recipes soon, so stick around!

I am enjoying your site. I’ve yet to try the recipes since I haven’t grocery shopped since discovering your site. we are always on a journey of eating healthy and make little changes along the way…I find it’s easier to stick with them that way. One change I’m not quite willing to make is the bread/pasta thing. I love my bread and pasta…I have found “Inn keepers bread” to be healthier then the average bread. My hubby would love to go breadless because of the fact that it doesn’t digest well and turns to goo in your tummy…any tips or sites for maybe making homemade bread that is healthy and yet not dry? I don’t know if this makes sense…I’m willing to compromise and eat less, but I still love my bread!

The texture reminded me a bit of oatmeal cookies, though a bit more substantial. It was nice as I can no longer have oatmeal cookies and miss them so. The next time I make them, I should share the recipe and pics on my blog. )

Becky,
LOL, thank you for pointing that out. That’s why I should never make “revisions” to a post on the run! I am glad I gave you a laugh (even if it was at my expense *wink*). I am a terrible self editor. I fixed it.

I promise I never correct the typos of others but yours made me laugh and laugh. Put the flakes in a bowel instead of a bowl!

These cookies looks so great. I am in the process of becoming a "health nut" and these seem perfect!
