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 [...]

In my next life, I’ll be one of those Mom’s who has a ton of patience. You know what I’m talking about. The kind of Mom who can tackle any project on Pinterest with her kids and never lose her cool. Or the one who actually can relax while cooking with her kids. Despite the [...]

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 [...]

Before we talk quinoa today, I just wanted to say THANKS! So many of you emailed, left comments on the site and tweeted to give me words of encouragement after my last post. (If you missed it, I talked about how scared I am about the baby and how overwhelmed I’m feeling.) I needed reassurance [...]

How was your Thanksgiving? Mine was very relaxing. It was just hubby, the boys and I this year and to be honest, I didn’t even cook. I made something the day ahead for lunch and instead we spent the day hanging out by the pool, reading and just enjoying being together. I caught up on [...]

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 [...]

I hope this finds you enjoying a wonderful holiday weekend. I had planned on a relaxing and uneventful weekend, but as it turns out my weekend started out with a bit of drama. My husband and youngest son were almost done running errands on Friday when the brakes in the car failed. Have I mentioned [...]

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 [...]

If you would like to find a low calorie and guilt free alternative to meatballs, I’ve got a real treat for you! One of the most shocking things I’ve found since going vegetarian and then vegan is that I really don’t miss anything. Seriously. I thought for sure that giving up cheese was going to [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

I know the timing of these quinoa cookies may not be ideal, since many of you have more sugar in your house than you need right now, but stick with me on this one. I don’t know about your children, but my boys always get way more candy than they need around Halloween. In [...]

In the last few months, cooking for my boys has been such a pleasure. Gone are the fussy preschoolers who turn there noses up at anything new I make. Instead, everything they try (from donuts, to granola bars to cinnamon swirl bread) I get a “Hey Mom, we could make this at home…and make it [...]

I don’t know about you, but I have always loved flatbread pizza. There was I cute little restaurant we used to go to in Atlanta that had the best flat bread pizza as an appetizer (I can’t remember the name) but for some reason it isn’t something I’ve ever tried making it at home. I [...]

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 [...]
