March 26, 2019 by jlpenner 2 Comments

Quinoa with Pecans and Raisins

Quinoa is good stuff.  It is super good for you (it’s a superfood, gluten free and a complete protein). If you have not tried it you really should.  That said, I think it is an acquired taste.  It has a unique flavor. One of the things I like so much about it is that it cooks as fast at white rice (brown rice takes FOREVER!).  SO if the flavor is new to you you can “break it in” by mixing {Read More}

Crunchy Roasted Chickpeas

They are very good for you but they are not low in calories, so make sure you share!! You can easily double or probably even triple this recipe with no problems. I have seen lots of recipes for them and made them a few times, but {Read More}
