Quinoa and Black Bean Chili
Really loved this! Personal changes made: used veg broth and red quinoa; Added 1 tsp of coriander to the spices; red pepper was $3 each, so left out and wasn't missed; increased chipotle to 2 Tbsp (tip: purée a can of chipotle in adobe sauce, then drop by tablespoonfuls onto a tray and freeze, then pull out drops as needed); added 1C of water with the tomatoes to help loosen the mixture; added 1 drained can of corn. Dollop Greek yogurt on top and a bit of shredded cheese. Great!

Quinoa Tabbouleh
Loved this! I made slight modifications, of course, but can't understand how others are complaining about blandness. I found it extremely bright and fresh. My mods: cook quinoa in veg stock, sub red onion for the scallions, add 1 tsp of cumin, add zest of one lemon, omit the carrot, only used half the oil. Be sure to seed both the cuke and tomatoes before dicing. Would definintely be great with some added mint, kalamata, and/or feta.

Poppy Seed Lemon Loaves
This was average. As others pointed out, a 1/2t lemon "peel" isn't going to do much. I used 1t lemon extract, and there still wasn't a noticable lemon flavor. Perhaps the vanilla and almond extracts are cancelling it out? Not sure. In any case, the end product was a too dense for me. I'll find another recipe.
