[No-]BS Cooking!

This is a blog for all of my culinary adventures! I learned most of what I do from my Italian grandmother, with whom I am very close. Although my focus is on Italian food, I do enjoy using lots of techniques and ethnic styles, including Hispanic, Asian, etc. I even cook a lot of vegetarian dishes! If you would like a recipe or advice, or if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask! Also, feel free to submit your own food-related stuff! Email me: signorino.brandon at gmail.com

Trying new things: Quinoa garlic "bread"

Using the leftover quinoa, I made a garlic "bread"! I had found the recipe on Pinterest months prior, and finally got to try it.

This was one of my less successful newly tried recipes, probably because I have never used quinoa before this week.

I mixed leftover cooked quinoa with eggs, garlic, basil, oregano, olive oil, baking powder, and some shredded cheese... and then baked it with some garlic butter and parmesan on top. It wasn't bad, but I definitely like real bread better, haha. Yay for trying new things!

Trying new things: Quinoa with roasted vegetables!

Quinoa cooked in vegetable broth with tomatoes, green peppers, and zucchini roasted with herbs and olive oil, all stir-fried in the cast-iron with fresh green beans!

This was my first time cooking quinoa, and the texture was perfect! I used a 1.3:1 ratio of liquid to quinoa, and 8 definitely recommend it!
