I bought a big bag of quinoa on a whim and it just sat there

Saw a 5-pound bag on sale for $15 at the store and thought I'd get into healthy grains. That was about four months ago. I used maybe two cups total and the rest went stale in my pantry. Felt pretty dumb throwing most of it out. Anyone have good, simple recipes that actually use up a lot of quinoa fast?

I used to think quinoa was just for salads, but now I make it like oatmeal for breakfast.

I've been there with the big bag of quinoa. I ended up making a huge batch of quinoa salad with black beans, corn, and lime juice, and just ate it for lunch every day that week. It used up a good chunk of the bag and didn't get boring.
