This recipe looks incredible, if you could sub. splenda or the splenda baking blend for the sugar. It's got a lot of butter, but if you were buling, it might not matter. anyway, check it out. Someone make this and let us know. I'll prob. do it myself, soon.

Where does this range on the Glycimic Index?

damn, I should grind some of my raw quinoa into flour to try that. I wonder if the amaranth is a necessity.

Amaranth is pretty good stuff, too, so I'd just pick up some of its flour and do it according to the recipe, but tweaking the sugar, as I mentioned. If i had the day off, I'd be tempted to make it today. I did send the recipe to the gf, though...lol.

I'm just not sure where the nearest hippie store is i'll have to look tonite at publix and see what they have. I have whole wheat whole grain flour here, I could use that i guess.

Check out if there's a health food section of the place. A lot of major chains now have very nice little health sections, stocked up w/ a lot of good stuff. If worse comes to worse, Bob's Red Mill has a website that sells it, among other whole grain flours.

You know, I think target has a fair variety of the bob's red mill stuff.

I was watching Emeril Lagasse last night and he cooked a dish using quinoa. I wouldn't have even realized he was using quinoa if it wasn't for this thread b/c he was pronouncing it the correct way, and I would have never guessed thats how it is said.

keen-wa. At first I was like WTF is that? Then he said it was a grain that was really good for you, then it hit me

[tattoopierced1]

just tried some tonight and it is really good by itself. Just make sure you wash it thoroughly. I let mine sit in warm water for 20 minutes, then drain, then rinse again until the water is clear. Threw it in a pot and let it simmer for 20 minutes and eat. No earthy taste at all and it surprisingly does not bloat either.
