I finally caved and joined Pinterest. It was a big decision because all I needed was one more distraction to keep me from what really matters most. But after some convincing arguments from a few friends I was convinced. There are a lot of sweet ideas on Pinterest. There is one I found that I thought was fantastically awesome.

Once in a while it’s nice to have lazy mornings, but not every day when you need to get up and do homework.

I made this recipe for my sister and her coworker the other day for lunch. We all loved it. Of course when I cook I don’t always follow the recipe to the letter, so I will give you the recipe from the book, and then I will tell you what I did differently. I always encourage creativity when cooking!
If you would like to know more about quinoa (pronounced keenwa) read my post Superfood – Quinoa or visit Quinoa365
You mostly see the other goodies in the meal, rather than the quinoa, but it is in there! See the little brown/redish specks… that’s it. Remember it’s like rice and fluffs up 3 x its size. Continue reading
