As much as I love quinoa patties and as much as I love garlic I will have to say that I’m surprised that it took me this long to come up with this combination. These little beauties were a winner and I will have to say my most successful egg-free quinoa patty yet. Now I’ve [...]

Blueberry and Walnut Quinoa Salad

Although my passion for quinoa patties is no secret, the reality is that the one thing my refrigerator is rarely without is a quinoa salad recipe of some sort. Although the boys don’t necessarily agree with most of my garlic filled quinoa salads, I happen to think they are the perfect lunch or snack. Increasingly, [...]

There was a lot of cereal around my house when I was a kid. I have fond memories of waking up to a bowl of Special K covered in sugar and bananas. But when I was allowed to pick the cereal, my choice was always the same – granola! Now I know that probably puts [...]

Thai Black Rice & Quinoa Salad

Lately I’ve been feeling that the quinoa salad recipes I make for the family on a regular basis have gotten a little…redundant. Not that they aren’t super yummy, but when you eat quinoa as much as we do after a while it can get a little boring. So, I decided to liven things up a [...]

I have a confession. I haven’t been doing very well in the first month of the year with my plans to get fit and really work the kinks out of my diet.  You’d think running a website like this would keep me on track at all times, wouldn’t you? Not so much. So forgive me [...]

I don’t know about you but when I’m feeling like there is more to do in a given day than I can possibly get done, I find myself reaching for foods that are….less than ideal.   I could blame the fact that my boys had a fleeing infatuation with bagel chips (and the hubby bought [...]

Lately, I’ve had a few requests for easy quinoa breakfast recipes.  There is no doubt that quinoa is a great way to start your day, but I must confess that I’m not much for a traditional breakfast. In fact, I’m much more likely to have a salad with balsamic vinegar for breakfast than I am [...]

January is always a busy time around here and I can’t help but get a little excited by all the activity. Traffic spikes pretty dramatically thanks to everyone trying to start the New Year off with healthy eating. If you are new around here, I’d like to give you a heartfelt welcome.

Spicy Sun Dried Tomato and Broccoli Quinoa Pasta

One of my goals for this year is to really master my eating. I think Gena over at Choosing Raw said it best when she talked about discovering our “eating identity”.  What I want to do is to figure out how I am happiest eating in a manner that has nothing to do with dieting [...]

As soon as Christmas is over, the first thing my mind goes to are plans for the New Year. Although I am the first to admit that I haven’t really ironed out what my goals are for next year, one thing I am clear on is that I need to refocus myself on eating healthy, [...]

If you would like to find a low calorie and guilt free alternative to meatballs, I’ve got a real treat for you! One of the most shocking things I’ve found since going vegetarian and then vegan is that I really don’t miss anything. Seriously. I thought for sure that giving up cheese was going to [...]

Quinoa Pancakes

Every time I make a new recipe for quinoa pancakes I say “Oh, this is my favorite!”  It’s really pretty funny because I’m never making them for myself and I never eat more than a taste.  Yes, I know, I’m very weird.  Salad sounds great to me in the morning but something sweet like pancakes, [...]

How was your Thanksgiving? Mine was a quiet and wonderful day spent with my favorite boys! Surprisingly, I didn’t do anything elaborate in the kitchen, which is completely unlike me. Instead, I focused on enjoying my family and was very glad I made that decision. It will probably be my last chance to relax until [...]
