Roasted Cauliflower & Quinoa with Lemon Tahini Sauce

When I was growing up, cauliflower was merely a vehicle for lots of ranch dressing. I never really wanted to eat it but you had to have something to dip into your ranch. I’ll never forget my first encounter with roasted cauliflower. I was in my early 30′s, engaged and we had been invited over [...]

Spinach Artichoke Quinoa Casserole

It goes without saying that the last (almost) six weeks have been chaotic for our family. I’m not sure anything can prepare you for the sleep deprivation and fatigue that comes along with the blessing of a new baby. Even having done it twice before. It’s kinda like child birth. The memory of how hard [...]

Broccoli Quinoa Salad

This time of year, I can’t get enough of salads. It makes sense. The weather is warmer and eating lighter is natural. Produce gets a little cheaper and better looking. And of course, there is the ever looming swimsuit season. (Which this new mama isn’t going to think about this year.) If you happen to [...]

Spicy Sausage Quinoa Polenta Bake

In my book, casseroles are one of God’s gifts to mom’s. Few things feel better than knowing that dinner is already made in the fridge or freezer. I love having the answer when hubby asks “Thoughts on dinner?”. I also love knowing that even though life is more than a little crazy right now we [...]

Veggie Quinoa Quesadillas

It is hard for me to believe that Skye is four weeks old today. I actually cried this morning at how fast it is all going. (Yeah, you should pity my husband. I’ve got hormones and I know how to use’em.) While I look forward to the time when I can sleep again, I also [...]

Quinoa Crusted Eggplant Parmesan Bites

Apr 6, 2013 | Wendy Polisi

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 [...]

Being a mom is such a funny thing. Here I talked briefly about how spoiled my boys are. I’m not proud of it but it’s true. They are great kids but my husband really, really loves buying them stuff. It often drives me crazy, but I’ve learned to stay out of it as best I [...]

Quinoa, Spinach & Sausage Breakfast Casserole

Mar 30, 2013 | Wendy Polisi

Thumbnail image for Quinoa, Spinach & Sausage Breakfast Casserole

Once upon a time, casseroles weren’t nearly as interesting to me as they are now. Not that I didn’t like them – because who doesn’t love a good casserole? I just didn’t realize that making foods ahead of time and having a stocked freezer could be so…life changing. The truth is that while I’d love [...]

Onion Quinoa Bites

Eating right while I’ve been pregnant has been more challenging that I’d expected. In the beginning, I had visions of eating perfectly and gaining maybe 15 pounds. Let’s just say that that plan didn’t work out. I’ve done pretty well. Unless you count the chocolate covered almonds. Or the ice cream. Or the pounds of [...]

You know what my idea of a great meal right now is? Anything the hubby can make and the kids will eat without fussing. In my ideal world, both of these things happen while I prop my feet up and wonder when baby Skye will make an appearance. (FYI – I think I have at [...]

I’m 36 weeks tomorrow and strangely… I think I’m almost ready for baby. The to-do/buy list that seemed so large a few weeks ago is pretty much crossed off. With all of my procrastination, everything actually came together in a couple of weeks- even though I was starting from scratch. Gotta love internet shopping. I’ll [...]

This week has been a challenging one for me. Last weekend was Christian’s 7th birthday and to start the weekend off we took the boys to the movies. Seems like a safe activity, right? Hmmm…not so much. I somehow managed to pick a broken theater chair to sit in. To be clear, I am not [...]

You guys just….ROCK. Thank you so much to all of those who took the time to leave me a comment or send me an email after my last post. Amazingly you managed to collectively tell me exactly what I need to hear as I go into the home stretch of this pregnancy and prepare for [...]

Today I ordered all of the “preparing for birth” supplements recommended by my midwife. When I sat down to do it it didn’t seem like that big of a deal, but by the time I was done reading all of the reviews and figuring out which ones to get I had a freak out moment. [...]

If you’ve been around here long, you know that once upon a time every third recipe I posted was a burger of some sorts. In the early days before I really opened my eyes to all that could be done with quinoa, burgers or salads were the extent to which my creativity went. Once I [...]

The further I get into this pregnancy, the easier I need things to be. My current obsession is freezer cooking. Nothing feels any better than knowing that I’ve got a few meals tucked away for those nights where I just don’t have the energy to do much other than whine about how bad I feel [...]

After putting the boys to bed a couple of nights ago, I overheard a rather enthusiastic conversation. Of course, I took the opportunity to eavesdrop and see what the debate was all about. As it turns out I would have been much better off if I’d waddled gone back downstairs and turned on the TV. [...]
