One of the really cool things about my "job" is that I am both the teacher and the student. In the words of Henry Ford: Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young. In coaching … Continue reading A day full of quinoa
Warm Feta and Roasted Red Pepper Spread
On a whim last fall, we roasted red peppers for the very first time. Actually now that's a lie. I did spend a day several years ago with a friend and her family as they invited me to their family ritual. Although having the roasted treat all winter was wonderful what I remember most was … Continue reading Warm Feta and Roasted Red Pepper Spread

Tofu ’cause it’s cheap
Whether you practice "Meatless Mondays", "Fish Fridays" or thinking about going vegetarian, tofu is a champ! Many folks use cost as an excuse to avoid eating healthier.

About 20 years ago in becoming in tune to how certain foods affect my body, I reduced and almost eliminated bread from my diet. I suppose if I cared to or was really … Continue reading A classic no knead bread

Anyhow, rest assured that all the ingredients are listed here and they were quite successful with the little "miss". As with … Continue reading Quinoa Cookies
Quinoa Burgers
My kids loved these quinoa burgers so much that after spending an hour looking for the recipe, I found it. Sifting through the neat piles of papers that I sorted through yesterday, under the stove thinking perhaps our kitty found it a playful piece of paper, nothing. I have even over the years sifted through … Continue reading Quinoa Burgers
