Quinoa Recipe Inspiration?

Hey all :)

So I like quinoa, but I don't find myself excited for it, and given it's really good nutritional profile etc. I want to try get myself excited for it.

I'm pretty good in the kitchen, while also not necessarily needing fancy recipes to be satisfied.

With quinoa, my go-to's is usually either mixed into a warm roast vegetable and bean situation with a fresh herb, evoo, squeeze of lemon or and a few golden raisins. Or, tossed into a cold rucola salad with chickpeas, evoo, tomatoes, cucumber, etc.

Occasionally, because it's not really my thing, I'd make a mexican black bean/red kidney bean bowl with ot and spices, corn, coriander etc.

Beyond that, my brain hits a bit of a dead end with quinoa, so I'm curious of any other ways/recipes you guys use? Technically can be sweet or savoury - I don't mind!
