A few weeks ago on a Whole Foods shopping extravaganza, something caught my eye in the bulk section. Strangely, it wasn’t a baby (that left me realizing just how big my boys are getting) or even a really cute guy (whom I’m almost old enough to be his mother, making me realize how old I’m [...]

It’s hard to believe that February is more than half over. I know that time is supposed to go faster as we get older, but seriously – where has this year gone?  There are so many things that I want to accomplish this year and it is time I really get focused if I want [...]

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 [...]

I’m sure its no secret to most of you that while I try to eat healthy, what I really crave is good old fashioned yummy food. It probably stems from my Southern roots and from the fact that at one point and time I considered sour cream a food group of its own. (And something [...]

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, [...]

I hate to say this twice in the span of a week…but you really should try this quinoa recipe. It is absolutely delicious and given the fact that it is “chicken salad”, surprisingly low in calories. I made this recipe last week on a massive cooking day, and posted that I had made a curried [...]

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 [...]

It’s not often that I tell you that you really have to try a recipe…but you really have to try this one.   It reminds me a bit of something you would get at a restaurant and later find out that it has 800 calories and 30 grams of fat.  In fact, it was so yummy [...]

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 [...]

Today’s Quinoa Burger is a protein packed meal that will please herbivores and carnivores alike.  It happens to be my husbands new favorite veggie burger recipe, and I often make a double batch just for him.  With over 30 grams of protein per serving, its an ideal hungry man’s dinner, veggie style! Now, my apologies [...]

There are few things I enjoy more than really good bread. But lately, I’ve been increasingly aware of all the junk that is in the bread we buy. If you have never taken the time to do so, you really owe it to yourself to read the labels on bread – and not just major [...]

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 [...]
