Cooking with quinoa

So, I bought a bag of quinoa a month or two ago from Whole Foods but was afraid to cook it. Why? Because I've never cooked it before and never really had a lot of dishes that had quinoa in it, that's why.
For lunch, I decided to make quinoa. I cooked it but it looked so plain and unappetizing that I threw some left over chicken in it along with some tomato sauce, garlic, onion, and salt & pepper to taste. The soup/stew came out great! I think I'll cook some more for dinner tonight. I hope it helps me battle whatever that's ailing me right now. Working with kids can get sicky.
