Thai Black Rice & Quinoa Salad

February 1, 2012

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 [...]

January is always a busy time around here and I can’t help but get a little excited by all the activity. 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 [...]

Kid Friendly Quinoa Fritters

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 [...]

How was your Thanksgiving? Mine was a quiet and wonderful day spent with my favorite boys! Surprisingly, I didn’t do anything elaborate in the kitchen, which is completely unlike me. Instead, I focused on enjoying my family and was very glad I made that decision. It will probably be my last chance to relax until [...]

Anyone who knows me well knows that I absolutely love cookbooks. Few things are more enjoyable than curling up with a good cookbook  and a pad of sticky notes cut into little strips on a weekend afternoon.   I just love to go through and mark all the recipes that catch my eye, dreaming of [...]

Have I ever mentioned that I love pesto? I mean seriously. Love. Pesto. I like it on pizza, I like it on pasta and apparently, I also like it on quinoa. Any kind of pesto will do, and this pistachio pesto was the perfect solution to use those bags of pistachios in my pantry that [...]

Quinoa Kale Fritters

The origins of this recipe began on Facebook. Well, that is not entirely true. It actually all started when a dear friend forwarded me this article which discussed how kale was the new beef.  I found it interesting and it made me feel a bit bad that I had yet to jump on the kale [...]
