Quinoa Mac and Cheese: 10 Healthy, International, Gluten-Free, Organic, and Delicious Ways to Make America's Favorite Dish

"Mac and Cheese" is the number one most Googled recipe on the Internet. There are many ways to make this popular comfort food, but few of the recipes are healthy. Quinoa Mac and Cheese offers a delicious, international spin on America's favorite food with tempting gourmet recipes for 10 delicious - and healthy -- macaroni and cheese meals. America consumes millions of boxes of macaroni and cheese annually, but this family favorite is far from healthy. A recent report from the Coalition for Safer Food Processing and Packaging found toxic phthalate levels in nearly every packaged mac and cheese product they tested, including the popular Kraft Mac and Cheese boxed mix. Phthalates are industrial chemicals used in plastics, rubber, coatings, adhesives, sealants and printing inks, and exposure to them is linked to a variety of health problems. Quinoa Mac and Cheese offers a healthy new twist on this old favorite, with 10 gluten-free, gourmet, international macaroni and cheese recipes, along with recipes for three delicious, organic side dishes - including meats, seafood, poultry, salads, and vegetables -- to make a complete meal. The cookbook includes 40 recipes for 10 gourmet meals, including: All American Quinoa Mac and Cheese - with Herbed Pastured-Raised Turkey Patties, Mixed Organic Chopped Green Salad and Sweet Organic Peas with Onions Italian Mac and Cheese - with Italian Organic Chicken Sausage, Blanched Organic Broccoli Rabe, and Chopped Organic Tomato Salad Spicy Mexican Mac and Cheese - with Mexican Organic Chorizo, Organic Guacamole, and Organic Salsa Asian Style Mac and Cheese - with Wild Caught Garlic Shrimp, Chopped Organic Stir-fry Veggies, and Saut?ed Organic Bean Sprouts Moroccan Mac and Cheese - with Organic Merguez Sausages, Organic Carrot Cumin Herb Salad, and Organic Micro Greens Indian Mac and Cheese - with Grass-Fed Lamb Kabobs, Seedless Cucumbers with Yogurt, and Grilled Turmeric Cauliflower Greek Mac and Cheese - with Grass-Fed Sirloin Kabobs, Organic Feta Cheese Salad, and Marinated Organic Veggies Turkey Mac and Cheese - with Tri-color Organic Bean Salad, Grilled Organic Asparagus, and Organic Watercress Chopped Salad Garden Mac and Cheese - with Organic Spinach Salad, Diced, Roasted Organic Brussels Sprouts, and Creamy Organic Cucumber Salad Decadent Mac and Cheese - with Roasted Garlic Free-Range Grass-Fed Skirt Steak, Organic Hearts of Palm Salad, and Chili Pepper Organic String Beans Full preparation instructions are included for each meal, along with detailed nutritional facts, including calories, protein, and carbohydrates.
