Quinoa is for the birds
"I'M EATING COOKED BIRD SEED." That's what I was thinking this morning. I've studied up on this quinoa stuff and upon learning the nutritional benefits, I really wanted to find a place in my regular diet for such a powerful super food. MY FIRST ATTEMPT at a quinoa recipe was a real flop. I followed the directions on the package. I rinsed it good, and cooked it just as the directions stated. The aroma reminded me of scalloped corn. I like corn, so I had high hopes. I made it as a breakfast type cereal with berries, a little brown sugar, and a sprinkle of almond milk. THE FIRST FEW BITES, I'm thinking to myself, "good texture, a little chewy like an oatmeal or rice type feel, very good for me... scalloped corn." I kept eating. The berries helped, and I was hungry. The scalloped corn taste started to make me wonder if I really needed to add any extra nutrition to my diet. SCALLOPED CORN is okay, but it's not good with brown
Happy St. Patrick's Day
Top o’ the morning to ya, on this fortuitous Friday. As you head out into a sea of green today, celebrate St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. Honor the Irish culture. Everyone has a little Irish in them on St. Patrick's day. May those who love us, love us. For those who don’t love us, May God turn their hearts. And if God can’t turn their hearts, May he turn their ankles so we’ll know them by their limping! An old Irish proverb May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind always be at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, and rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of His hand. An old Irish proverb
Southern Chili
It's snowing. That means it's time for chili. Break out the crock pot and spice it up.
SMOOTHIES RULE
I steered away from spinach in my shakes for a long time, go ahead, call me a chicken. In an effort to add more nutrition to my diet, I bravely added "the green stuff". I am hooked! You can't taste it. Really. Although it will turn some shakes a really nasty looking brown, you still can't taste it. It's a perfect way to start the day.
