Nutty & Decadent Quinoa Bars

July 9, 2011

I almost hesitate to post this quinoa bars recipe. Not because it isn’t amazing. It is. In fact, it may be one of my favorite recipes on the entire site. The reason I hesitate to post it is because it is quite a bit indulgent. Invariably, when I post recipes with butter and/or sugar (even [...]

Quinoa Risotto with Butternut Squash

January 13, 2011

Butternut squash is something that I really love. In fact when I’m pressed for time in the winter I will very often throw a diced butternut squash in the oven, toss it with a little olive oil and walnuts and roast it. Top it with an ounce or two of goat cheese and you’ve got [...]
