Quinoa salad recipes are my go to meals when I’m short on time and trying to eat healthy. Often I will make a huge quinoa salad on Sunday afternoon, not for a meal that day but to have in the fridge during the week.  That way if I get busy I can grab a quick [...]

This weekend, I had a craving for a really good veggie burger – but not just any veggie burger would do! I wanted a bun worthy patty that not only stuck together, but also scored big in the taste department. These black bean and quinoa burgers really fit the bill. I will have to say [...]

As most of you know, I’ve been doing P90x for the last five weeks. Not only has this involved a big shift in my daily routine to fit in hour long workouts, I’ve also begun tracking calories successfully for the first time in my life using the Calorie Counter at MyFoodDiary.com.  I think this is [...]

If you have been around here long at all, you know that I really, really love garlic. I love it raw, roasted and lightly baked. In fact, there are very few dishes that I think wouldn’t benefit from the addition of a little garlic. (Ok, maybe not breakfast dishes unless you are like me and [...]

Quinoa Protein Bowl

Anyone who has been a vegetarian or vegan for more than 5 minutes, knows that the first question that people want to ask is “Where do you get your protein?” Luckily most of my friends and family are beyond this question now. (Mostly because they are sick of hearing me launch into a speech about [...]

If you have been following the chatter on Facebook you know I have finally gone insane. Not only am I doing P90x (despite the fact that I haven’t worked out regularly in um…..six years) – I am also doing it while switching to a 100% plant based diet.  I know I promised to post these [...]

Mexican Quinoa

I can’t say what my favorite thing is about this Mexican Quinoa Salad was.  The taste was fabulous, but I really loved the texture too.  And, of course I love how colorful it is.  Colorful dishes make me smile because I know getting a pretty picture will be easy. At the end of the day, [...]

I have to confess that this corn cake recipe has been sitting in my WordPress dashboard (along with several other quinoa recipes) unpublished for a few weeks now. It’s not because I am not crazy about the recipe – I actually really love it. It’s just that…yep…its another quinoa cake / quinoa patty type recipe [...]

I have to ask for forgiveness from my readers for how long it has been since I last posted.  I’m pretty sure that this has been the longest time between posts since early this year when I was working on Quintessential Quinoa. I wish I could say that it is because I have been hard [...]

My boys have been taught at home in one way or another since they were very little.  So, you would think that the start of the home schooling year wouldn’t be such a big deal for me. But, the truth is that I don’t think that anything could have prepared me for what it is [...]

Because its been a week while since I’ve posted a recipe for quinoa cakes, quinoa patties, quinoa fritters or a veggie burger recipe, I thought I would share with you my latest edition. Yes, I’m officially obsessed.  This time its not my fault entirely, because Vegetarian Times posted a recipe for quinoa cakes and its [...]

How to Make Falafel….With Quinoa!

Thumbnail image for How to Make Falafel….With Quinoa!

For reasons I can’t quite explain, I really love falafel.  My husband would say that they are too dry, almost to the point of being sandy.  But I have to say with the right sauce, I really enjoy them.  Well…most of the time anyway.  I agree that at times they can be way too try.  [...]

I am asking for forgiveness in advance for yet another recipe for quinoa patties, but in my defense these were really yummy and really different from any quinoa recipes  I’ve made.  They also held together really nice which was an added bonus.  One thing Ive learned about cooking quinoa patties and veggie burgers is that [...]
