*3/4 cup of dry quinoa will give you about 2 cups when cooked. To cook the quinoa put 1 1/2 cups water in a medium sauce pan and bring to a boil. Add the quinoa and reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 10-12 minutes. When the quinoa is done fluff it with a fork and make sure there are no crunchy pieces of quinoa.
