It’s hard to believe that February is more than half over. I know that time is supposed to go faster as we get older, but seriously – where has this year gone?  There are so many things that I want to accomplish this year and it is time I really get focused if I want [...]

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 [...]

I’m sure its no secret to most of you that while I try to eat healthy, what I really crave is good old fashioned yummy food. It probably stems from my Southern roots and from the fact that at one point and time I considered sour cream a food group of its own. (And something [...]

Although my passion for quinoa patties is no secret, the reality is that the one thing my refrigerator is rarely without is a quinoa salad recipe of some sort. Although the boys don’t necessarily agree with most of my garlic filled quinoa salads, I happen to think they are the perfect lunch or snack. Increasingly, [...]

I hate to say this twice in the span of a week…but you really should try this quinoa recipe. It is absolutely delicious and given the fact that it is “chicken salad”, surprisingly low in calories. I made this recipe last week on a massive cooking day, and posted that I had made a curried [...]

Thai Black Rice & Quinoa Salad

Lately I’ve been feeling that the quinoa salad recipes I make for the family on a regular basis have gotten a little…redundant. Not that they aren’t super yummy, but when you eat quinoa as much as we do after a while it can get a little boring. So, I decided to liven things up a [...]

Crispy Southwestern Quinoa and Chick’n Burritos

It’s not often that I tell you that you really have to try a recipe…but you really have to try this one.   It reminds me a bit of something you would get at a restaurant and later find out that it has 800 calories and 30 grams of fat.  In fact, it was so yummy [...]

Today’s Quinoa Burger is a protein packed meal that will please herbivores and carnivores alike.  It happens to be my husbands new favorite veggie burger recipe, and I often make a double batch just for him.  With over 30 grams of protein per serving, its an ideal hungry man’s dinner, veggie style! Now, my apologies [...]

Traffic spikes pretty dramatically thanks to everyone trying to start the New Year off with healthy eating. If you are new around here, I’d like to give you a heartfelt welcome. Please take the [...]

One of my goals for this year is to really master my eating. I think Gena over at Choosing Raw said it best when she talked about discovering our “eating identity”.  What I want to do is to figure out how I am happiest eating in a manner that has nothing to do with dieting [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

I don’t know about you but when I get busy with the holidays the last thing that I want to think about is what is for dinner. Sure, I spend hours planning special dinners, but those day to day meals can really be annoying.  One thing that saves our family time and again is my [...]

If you have been reading long at all, you know that I love my foods spicy and with lots of kick. My boys  on the other hand aren’t nearly so enthusiastic. My salads are not-so-affectionately referred to as “stinky salads” and the boys run the other way whenever I’m eating one.  I sometimes wonder if  [...]

This is one of my favorite quinoa recipes when the weather gets cold. Most of the year I’d much prefer a light quinoa salad, but as the temperatures drop I really enjoy this hearty quinoa casserole! To me, it feels special enough for a holiday and reminds me of a very delicious rice stuffing. The [...]
