I've scooped the seeds out both before and after cooking. It is easier for me AFTER the squash is cooked.

What a healthy meal! I actually saw on some FOOD TV show that they baked the squash WITH the seeds in and then scooped out the seeds once its baked. I always scoop the seeds out first, but their suggestion was that it was easier once it was soft. I'm going to try that next time.

I love quinoa so much. There's a red quinoa that I usually mix with the white, but I ran out and haven't seen it in the couple of stores I looked. I need to go on a hunt...

I'm wondering if my in-laws eat quinoa...my MIL has celiac disease, so this is something she should try! They often get in a rut and eat the sames things over and over...

Laura I had to google b/c I didn't know you were supposed to rinse quinoa - my directions said nothing!

Apparently the boxed ones are pre-rinsed for your convenience. Otherwise you can use a cheesecloth to soak/rinse the quinoa.

You learn something new everyday!

I love butternut squash too! This looks fantastic, how do you rinse your quinoa without losing it down the sink?
