I found this recipe at http://www.mothering.com/community/t/1359430/what-do-you-serve-for-dinner-when-you-are-too-burnt-out-to-cook It sounds yummy.
"Our absolute favorite quick meal
is Coconut Quinoa Pilaf. It can be thrown together with only a few
minutes prep and 30 minutes stove-top time.
2 cups quinoa
1 can coconut milk (nature's value brand is BPA free)
2 cups water
1 bunch green onions, sliced (I omit this if it's not in the fridge and it's still yummy)
1 medium red bell pepper, diced small (have some diced ahead of time in the freezer)
3 to 4 cloves garlic, crushed
3/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 to 1 teaspoon crushed red chili flakes (we do a heaping tsp and it's still not overly spicy)
1/2 cup chopped cilantro (we don't care for cilantro, so I omitted this)
1. Rinse the dry quinoa in a fine mesh strainer under warm water.
2. Place rinsed quinoa into a medium saucepan with the coconut milk, water, green onions, red pepper, garlic, sea salt, and chili flakes. Cover and bring to a boil, then turn heat to a low simmer and cook for about 20 minutes.
3. Remove pot from heat and let pilaf cool in pot for about 10 minutes. Then add chopped cilantro and gently fluff with a fork. Serve hot.
