1st Attempt

I made the quinoa stuffing for my family and they were very leary about even trying it since my past attempts at cooking this grain were epic failures. My mother who has dimentia and my 9 month old baby were the most open to trying this new creation and both really liked it. My 18 year old son wouldn't even try the stuffing even after much begging, it appears that my previous failures have ruined quinoa for him. My husband and daughters all said it wasn't bad which in my house means, we'll eat it, but it's not at the top of the list. I actually liked it a lot. The stuffing reminded me more of chinese rice than actual stuffing. When I was preparing the stuffing I thought the amount of onions and celery listed seemed like a lot so I only used 4 celery stalks instead of six and I did not garnish with parsley so I wouldn't purchase the parsley again. After eating the finished dish I can understand why the 6 stalks of celery was listed. The celery and onion are what really gave the dish the flavor. I'm looking forward to making this again only I would like to add some more vegetables.
