If you're curious about experimenting with a gluten-free diet, and I highly recommend everyone give it the 7 day challenge, quinoa flour is a fun place to start. It's easy to make and can be substituted equally for white flour. Good option.
Vitamix Quinoa Flour
2 cups quinoa
Sauce pan
High speed blender
Toast quinoa on stove top until lightly browned, you will hear it pop. Allow to cool before placing grains in blender, make sure the canister is completely dry. If you have the Vitamix "dry" canister for making flour now is the time to use it though it's not a must. Blend until completely ground.
Very easy, snowy weekend project.January 24, 2013
