Hi Shivani,
No, quinoa is a seed unlike cracked wheat, which is a grain.

So where would I find quinoa? at a health food store like whole foods or can I get it at walmart - in rice and beans section?
A small request can you try to get recipes that take lesser time - maybe short cuts and quick and healthy meals for busy working moms? I loved your cereal mix and some recipes where you suggest using ready ingredients!
Love all your recipes BTW!

Satya,
Quinoa is definitely available at the health food stores. We have a “Sprouts - Farmer’s Market” that sells it in a big bin. You can take as much as you like. We have also seen it at a Kroger’s in a packaged tray. Have not seen it at Walmart.
We’ll keep your suggestion in mind

Thank you so much for this recipe! I tried it today and it was quick, easy and absolutely delicious.
I’m off to uni next year, so no more of mom’s homemade cooking… but atleast now I know I won’t starve! This is the perfect on-the-go recipe.
