Spinach Quinoa Tabbouleh

Feb 5, 2013 |

Thumbnail image for Spinach Quinoa Tabbouleh

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 [...]

Chick’n, Quinoa & Spinach Skillet

I have to admit that I’m kind of glad this past weekend is over. Don’t get me wrong – I loved having four days where I didn’t have to worry about homeschooling or much of anything else. But I also felt a little trapped in my house. You see, I’m one of those weirdos who [...]

I have always wanted to be one of those people for whom healthy eating seems effortless for no matter what the situation. You know what I mean. The kind of person who can go to a restaurant and order a steamed vegetable plate not caring that they are spending $8 on, well, steamed vegetables.  (That [...]

Quinoa Granola

When I was growing up, I loved granola. So much so, that when given the chance to pick any breakfast cereal I wanted, my choice was almost always granola.  (No Frosted Flakes for me!) This continued for years until someone informed me during high school that granola was extremely high fat, high calorie and that [...]

  Life seems to go in stages for me and I’m guessing most of you.  I’ve had blissfully happy and abundant times and times where I honestly didn’t know how I was going to keep on going.  Through the dark times I’ve learned that as long as my family and loved ones are safe and [...]

Spinach, Strawberry & Quinoa Salad

This time of year is always pretty laid back for our family. Between July 4th and the hubby’s birthday two days later, I clearly have all of the excuses I need to work less and play more. Despite my best intentions, once again this year I find that I haven’t planned as well as I [...]

It’s easy to get stuck in a rut with salads. For years, I’ve made almost the same salad every day. (And I probably should add for those of you who are new around here that I’ve enjoyed that salad for breakfast.  Yes, I know I’m a little weird.) It’s always been a green salad with [...]

It’s no secret around here that I really love Mexican food.  People ask me all the time how I can run a single subject food site without getting bored.  Sometimes I do, but to be honest most of the time I could probably run a website that had nothing but Mexican quinoa recipes and do [...]

June just isn’t supposed to start off rainy and cold, but here I am. It’s 58 degrees and I haven’t seen the sun all day.  As a Florida girl, this is just unheard of!  Oh, and the Chipmunks shredded one of the cushions to our outdoor chairs. Shredded. In the pouring rain. Who knew something [...]

If I had to pick my favorite time of year it would be a toss up between Spring and Fall. In the end though, I think that Spring would win out because its such a time of renewal. I’ve been lucky enough to do some traveling this year and am now on my third round [...]

Asian Quinoa Salad

Thumbnail image for Asian Quinoa Salad

I love this Asian Quinoa Salad, which is actually kind of odd because I’ve never been a huge fan of Asian flavors. But I think that is changing. (At least a little.) After three years of almost daily salads (Or according to Alex & Christian “stinky salads”) with this balsamic vinegar dressing, I’ve burnt myself [...]

Today, I’m officially crawling out from under my rock and posting again!   It’s been two weeks, which may have been the longest I’ve gone without posting in the last year.  This time the only excuse I have is travel and a serious case of spring fever.  It’s not that I haven’t been cooking – [...]
