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 [...]

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 [...]

Today, I have a real treat for you – quinoa cake doughnuts! I bet you can’t guess who this recipe was made for? Yep…the boys! It all started over the summer when my husband would take the boys to a certain popular coffee spot for cake pops and cake doughnuts. One day, he bought four [...]

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, [...]

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 [...]

There is no doubt that quinoa breakfast recipes are a great way to start the day.  But, up until now I’ve never been successful at getting my children on the bandwagon.  The baby (Ok, he’s five but who’s counting?) always wants eggs and toast and my oldest (aka the commander) is a lot like me [...]

Raisels – A Delicious and Healthy Snack

February 28, 2011

Recently I was given the opportunity to try a brand new snack called Raisels. I was cautiously optimistic. The idea is sound – fruit flavored raisins that taste like candy.  And the mom in me love that they are cholesterol free, fat free and lacking high fructose corn syrup and artificial sweeteners. (The last two [...]

I don’t know about you, but I just hate wasting food.  Sometimes I will [...]

Don’t you just love smoothie recipes? I have always said that I am all about the liquids – coffee, wine and smoothies!  Fruit smoothies are great for those times when you need something healthy fast and don’t feel like a huge production.  It was only in the last few months that I even thought that [...]

Easy Quinoa Recipes

November 8, 2010

Let’s face it – many people are not all that crazy about cooking.  Although I am not one of them, it is certainly something that I understand.  I will be the first to admit that most every quinoa recipe that I write is at least a little complicated.  Since I one of my goals is [...]

Broccoli Recipes – Broccoli Quinoa Frittata

October 31, 2010

We all know that green vegetables are some of the most nutrient dense that you will ever find.  I must confess however, that outside of my daily salad I probably don’t eat enough of them.  It’s not even that I don’t like them.  To be honest, the biggest problem is that I grew up eating [...]

Quinoa Fritatta

July 29, 2010

I first found the idea to make a frittata with quinoa in Oxygen magazine.  It was decent, but not nearly tasty enough for me.  Still, even my husband ate it so I knew I had to do some work on the recipe and try it again.  I like to make a really big dish of [...]
