Discovery of the day: Quinoa
Can't remember if I mentioned this before and I'm too lazy to go back and check, but my boyfriend introduced me to quinoa a few weeks back. It's a nifty little grain that stacks up quite well in the nutrition department and tastes darned good to boot.
I cooked some up the other night to put on salads and I'm liking it. It cooks up like rice, 2:1 water:quinoa, but it only take 10 mins or so. Right now I'm seeing it as more of a side dish than a base for a stir fry, but stay tuned.
What I really want to do is cook up a mess of it, throw a chunk of butter and some black pepper on top, and eat it straight out of the pan standing over the sink.
But that would be bad, right?

It's all about me and my food.
Why are we here?
I'm Liz T., and it's all about what I put in my face.
In early 2008 I waded into flexitarianism (less than 10% of calories from animal protein.) My initial focus was to find mostly whole food recipes I could have on the table in 45 minutes that my son would eat. That's slowly expanded into discovering what else I can make from scratch, limited only by my short attention span and day job.
Oh yeah, and in the meantime, I'm still trying to climb off the twenty-pound roller coaster.
How's it going? Stay tuned...
