One of the things that send a dish over the edge for me is texture. I relish things with crunch, chew, snap—something to keep me guessing (in a good way). And that's one of the reasons I love granola especially in my yogurt. Although I'm not a milk or yogurt fan and find the flavor almost unpalatable, I'm trying to eat more of it for its health benefits. So fruit, nuts and anything crunchy like granola are my culinary saviors.
When I saw this recipe for Quinoa Crunch in Power Foods: 150 Delicious Recipes with the 38 Healthiest Ingredients, it was the tipping point for me scooping up the cookbook and heading to the checkout line.
