Roasted Cauliflower & Quinoa with Lemon Tahini Sauce

When I was growing up, cauliflower was merely a vehicle for lots of ranch dressing. I never really wanted to eat it but you had to have something to dip into your ranch. I’ll never forget my first encounter with roasted cauliflower. I was in my early 30′s, engaged and we had been invited over [...]

Broccoli Quinoa Salad

This time of year, I can’t get enough of salads. It makes sense. The weather is warmer and eating lighter is natural. Produce gets a little cheaper and better looking. And of course, there is the ever looming swimsuit season. (Which this new mama isn’t going to think about this year.) If you happen to [...]

You know the best thing about being an “old” mom of a new baby? Perspective. When the boys were little I declared myself “not a baby person”. Don’t get me wrong. I loved being a mom from the beginning and have always been madly in love with my boys. I just always knew that [...]

The last 2 1/2 weeks have been surreal to say the least. I wasn’t expecting to go into labor when I did, because despite my best efforts with walking/acupressure/bouncing on my birthing ball/eating pineapple and eggplant I was showing no signs of progression. As in not dilated, not soft…you get the idea. So when my [...]

By the time you read this, I will either be snuggling with Skye or a very cranky over due pregnant lady. Either way, I’m happy that Karo from Life in Joy is joining us to share a recipe! Please join me in welcoming her. ~~ In Poland where I grew up, the season for fresh, [...]

Mexican Style Quinoa

Although I love complicated flavor profiles, every mom needs a few basic dishes in their arsenal. Last week I mentioned that because of the arsenic in rice issue that I was converting most of my rice dishes to quinoa. We already eat a lot of quinoa around our house (I’m sure that is shocking), but [...]

Java Quinoa Smoothie

I’ve always liked smoothies, but over the last 9 months I’ve grown to love them for their simplicity. They are the perfect meal that keeps me away from processed and packaged foods. Like a lot of you, I am a huge fan of green smoothies that make the rest of my family run for cover. [...]

Corn Fried Quinoa

In the last couple of weeks, my husband frequently blurts (Loudly. No matter where we are.) “Waddle, Waddle” when walking behind me. He thinks he’s been funny. I, on the other hand, think he should consider sleeping with one eye open. I’m never one for patience and now really isn’t a good time to be [...]

Being a mom is such a funny thing. Here I talked briefly about how spoiled my boys are. I’m not proud of it but it’s true. They are great kids but my husband really, really loves buying them stuff. It often drives me crazy, but I’ve learned to stay out of it as best I [...]

Chocolate Chip Quinoa Energy Bars

I am officially panicked. Not because I’m nervous about childbirth. (I’m naturally apprehensive, but I wouldn’t call it panicked.) And not because I’m not ready. (Because I have everything and am as ready as I’m going to get.) My issue is that my Midwife is going out of town right after my due date and [...]

I’m 36 weeks tomorrow and strangely… I think I’m almost ready for baby. The to-do/buy list that seemed so large a few weeks ago is pretty much crossed off. With all of my procrastination, everything actually came together in a couple of weeks- even though I was starting from scratch. Gotta love internet shopping. I’ll [...]

I can’t believe its only 8 more weeks (give or take) before I have a little girl! Every time I open the closet and see the tiny clothes hanging, I panic. With the boys I was the picture of preparedness. I read every book I could, knew all the theories on infant sleep and literally [...]

Honey Mustard Quinoa Salad

I frequently start out with the intention of creating easy recipes. Really, I do. And then I get in the kitchen and think…ok, I should add more vegetables, a little bit of this seasoning or that herb. Suddenly my salad that started out with 5 or 6 ingredients has turned into 10 or 12. When [...]

If you’ve been around here long, you know that once upon a time every third recipe I posted was a burger of some sorts. In the early days before I really opened my eyes to all that could be done with quinoa, burgers or salads were the extent to which my creativity went. Once I [...]

I grew up in Florida with parents that were very much Southern. In a culinary sense, my life was very sheltered. Dinners were dishes like fried chicken, mashed potatoes and green beans. About the most ethnic food ever got around our house was lasagna made with Prego. There were so many things I never ate [...]

Hi. Just call me Bubbles. No, that’s not my new stripper name. It’s my bird name. In case you missed it, my boys have decided that their pregnant Mama looks like Orange Bird Blown Up. Apparently, orange bird’s name is Bubbles. Lucky me, hubby jumped on that bandwagon and ran with it. Ran….. ……like the [...]
