I’ve always liked smoothies, but over the last 9 months I’ve grown to love them for their simplicity. They are the perfect meal that keeps me away from processed and packaged foods. Like a lot of you, I am a huge fan of green smoothies that make the rest of my family run for cover. [...]

Quinoa Crusted Eggplant Parmesan Bites

Apr 6, 2013 |

Thumbnail image for Quinoa Crusted Eggplant Parmesan Bites

According to old wives tales, eggplant is one of those foods that can help bring on labor. I’m all for letting nature take its course, but my thinking is that if a little culinary pleasure can give nature a nudge then there is no harm in that. I wish I had some big news for [...]

Chocolate Chip Quinoa Energy Bars

I am officially panicked. Not because I’m nervous about childbirth.  (I’m naturally apprehensive, but I wouldn’t call it panicked.) And not because I’m not ready.  (Because I have everything and am as ready as I’m going to get.) My issue is that my Midwife is going out of town right after my due date and [...]

You’ve all heard me talk about how difficult it is to find anything that both my boys will eat. Unfortunately, that difficulty extends to desserts! Yep, one of my little princes likes chocolate…and the other tolerates it but flatly rejects anything that he deems to be “too chocolaty”. (Yet somehow his favorite Cliff Bar is [...]

I’ve never been one for Pr0 Football (I’m an SEC girl) but that doesn’t stop me from enjoying the Super Bowl. For me, its all about the food that I enjoy while watching with amazement at what advertisers will spend $4 million dollars on. I love appetizers so naturally I adore football food! I am [...]

Quinoa-Flax Chocolate Chip Cookies

One of the craziest things about being a parent is seeing myself in my boys. Just this morning, I was working with Alex on his math. He’s just started multiplication and somehow just “gets” that, but he still struggles when trying to add three four digit numbers. It’s not the addition he has a problem [...]

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 [...]

Quinoa Energy Bars

I have a really bad habit of completely overestimating what is realistic to get done in a given day or week. Case in point – every day I start out with a “to do” list that is two full columns in a notebook.  While I’m really good about keeping commitments I’ve made to other people, [...]

Blueberry Quinoa Crumble

Given the choice between something salty and crunchy or something sweet and decadent, I’d choose salty every time. I realize this makes me kinda unusual for a woman, but since you guys already know about my salad-for-breakfast thing and are still reading, I’m guessing you are all ok with my weirdness.  (Everyone needs that one [...]

My boys are extremely active. Case in point, yesterday we went on an hour and 20 minute hike UP a ski mountain, and they still had the energy to play outside until the rain brought them in last night. (I on the other hand, was wiped out and very happy to sit and watch them [...]

If you are looking for something delicious but just a little bit different, this quinoa burger is for you!  It also happens to be a great make ahead dish – something I actually found out by accident. I mentioned in my last post that I’ve been really sick.  I don’t know about you but the [...]

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 [...]

Today I’ve got an easy to make and super healthy recipe for you that is perfect for your New Years resolution. The recipe began with a reader asking me if it was possible to convert it to a gluten free recipe, which I was happy to do. Unfortunately, this request came several weeks ago and [...]

Snack Mix with Quinoa Flakes & Oats!

Thumbnail image for Snack Mix with Quinoa Flakes & Oats!

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 [...]

Quinoa Flakes

Nov 3, 2010 |

Recently I had a comment on the site asking for suggestions as to how to use quinoa flakes.  I must confess that I don’t have much experience with them mostly because they tend to be difficult to find.  I know that I can order quinoa flakes online, but I have not yet done this.  I [...]
