Quinoa Granola

February 4, 2012

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 [...]

Quinoa Protein Bars

January 5, 2012

Given the fact that it is the first of the year, I’m guessing that I’m not the only one who is placing an increased focus on health, nutrition and exercise. Although I always say that “this is the year” that I’m finally going to regain my pre-baby body, I really DO believe that this is [...]

Quinoa Muffins

November 10, 2011

When the weather (finally) starts to turn cooler, I get in the mood for baking. It’s hard to get inspired to make cookies, muffins and bread when its 100 degrees out! This shift in my attitude makes my boys very happy. Although they have been enjoying this cinnamon swirl bread recipe, today I decided to [...]

Snack Mix with Quinoa Flakes & Oats!

October 19, 2011

One of my big goals with my boys is to feed them as much food as possible that I’ve made myself. In other words, I do my best to stay away from highly processed snack foods that have been coated with powdered junk of unknown origins. I’ll admit that I don’t always succeed, but I [...]

Asian Quinoa Wraps

September 1, 2011

I have to ask for forgiveness from my readers for how long it has been since I last posted. I’m pretty sure that this has been the longest time between posts since early this year when I was working on Quintessential Quinoa. I wish I could say that it is because I have been hard [...]

Nutty & Decadent Quinoa Bars

July 9, 2011

I almost hesitate to post this quinoa bars recipe. Not because it isn’t amazing. It is. In fact, it may be one of my favorite recipes on the entire site. The reason I hesitate to post it is because it is quite a bit indulgent. Invariably, when I post recipes with butter and/or sugar (even [...]

Quinoa Crunchy Nut Clusters

May 31, 2011

I’ve been trying to snack more often because I’ve realized that one problem with my diet is that I don’t eat often enough and then by the time I do I’m starving. While remembering to eat before I’m ready to chew my arm off can be challenging as a busy mom, I find that if [...]

Hummus Recipe with Tahini

March 28, 2011

Have you ever made a hummus recipe with tahini? A lot of people have never heard of tahini and don’t know that it is an essential ingredient in most great hummus recipes. In fact, I’d say that with most any hummus recipe tahini is part of what makes it so special. Today my energy was [...]

Quinoa Stuffed Peppers

January 11, 2011

How are your New Year’s resolutions going? Now that we are 11 days into 2011, I must admit that I’m doing great on some accounts and terrible on others. While I’ve been doing ok with clean eating, my workout plans have been derailed thanks to the fact that everyone has been sick around here. One [...]

More Recipes for Hummus

November 16, 2010

This past weekend, I was lucky enough to be able to spend time with my boys enjoying the cooler air and being thankful for the sunshine. I also spend quite a bit of time in the kitchen. Since it was a football weekend I had appetizers on the mind but wasn’t really in the mood [...]

Black Bean Hummus Recipe

September 25, 2010

For some reason, I have been on a black bean kick lately. There are just so many great black bean recipes out there! So, why not combine two things that I really love? Black beans and hummus! In this hummus recipe, I skip the garbanzo beans altogether. I love traditional hummus but this is one [...]

My Hummus Recipe

August 9, 2010

One thing that it took me a long time to learn is that healthy eating does not have to be boring. The truth is that I genuinely like a lot of foods that are good for me – it just took me a while to identify what they were and learn how to make them [...]
