Quinoa Lunch

Quinoa, pronounced keen-wa, is an interesting little edible oddity. It’s considered part of the grain group but is actually a seed. It’s a complete protein which is not easy to find among plants. It provides all of the 8 essential amino acids we need… Continue Reading “Quinoa Lunch”

Spicy Bean Dip

A couple of years ago during a camping trip I tried hummus for the first time. Up until that point, just the thought of eating garbanzo beans grossed me out. I’m not even sure why. Now, I can’t get enough of it. I was… Continue Reading “Spicy Bean Dip”

Rustic Vegetable Tart

Ahhh…it feels good to be back in the kitchen. For me, it’s so relaxing to putter around, look through recipes, and think about what I want to cook or bake. I’ve been helping out in my sister in-law’s medical office for the past week… Continue Reading “Rustic Vegetable Tart”

Simple & Full Of Flavor

A lot of people consider chicken and salad to be a “diet” meal. Not me, and here’s why. First of all, chicken can be prepared at least one hundred different ways and I could certainly say the same for salad. If your idea of… Continue Reading “Simple & Full Of Flavor”

Organic Chicken & Vegetable Soup

Homemade chicken soup. Doesn’t just the thought of sitting down with a steaming bowl and a warm roll with butter instantly relax you? Go ahead, close your eyes and imagine it. I’ll wait. It doesn’t surprise me that several different Universities have done studies… Continue Reading “Organic Chicken & Vegetable Soup”
