I have created several things using Quinoa. I have made my own veggie burgers with it before using olive oil, mushrooms, and eggplant before, as well. To hold it together, I used one egg. It turned out ok, despite needing a little bit of salt.

Thanks !
I ended up making a salad with red and green bell peppers, zucchinis cut in slices, and cooked with red onions and cumin. I added some edamame beans in my quinoa. They're nice this way, but i think next time i'll try toasting them first. I was planning to add cashew nuts for more crunchiness but my box was empty

My work has added germinated grains (actually germinated adzuki beans) in the ingredients of their salad bar. So cool ! They taste nice, but a bit strong.

My interpretation of a classic double veggie burger using Lightlife's Veggie Burgers, Tofurky's Smoked Tempeh, Cheddar Cheese, Green Onions, Tomatoes, Veganaise, Mustard, and Ketchup. I also toasted the whole wheat sesame buns before. Lightlife and Tofurky are both free of genetically modified organisms (GMO) and taste incredible. Delicious and meat-free.

That looks amazing!!!! I'm 34 and stopped eating meat when I was 15. My husband eats meat and we have 3 little girls 1 of whom is also a vegetarian by her own choice. It gets tough cooking two different dinners at night for them and us and I've been in a bit of a food rut and this is totally inspiring me!

I have been a vegetarian for almost 3 years and I have been stuck in a rut for awhile. I love Quorn products, but I get tired of the same thing over and over and salads...ugh. I am also on a diet and if I see another salad I am going to freak. That burger looks incredible though! I think I am going to have to go grocery shopping tomorrow. But maybe make it more diet friendly haha
Honestly, I have been struggling with keeping it up. I catch myself thinking it would be sooo much easier to eat meat, but I love animals too much and I would feel like a failure for giving up.

MIKAGlam, when you have a second check this out http://www.sarahafshar.com/2012/03/vegetarianvegan-substitutes.html I am updating it relatively often. Will be creating a new post, as well about GMO-free vegetarian alternatives too.
