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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
