I had gotten into the habit of only checking in on Sundays, but I’m going to try to do better. Part of the reason for that, though, is that many times I wanted to blog about something else that struck my fancy. But, you know, I can always write that and schedule it for the next day. 🙂
I managed to write one day so far this week, so that’s a third way through my weekly goal. During that session, I wrote 1717 words. I look at it this way. I used to have a 500 word a day goal, so that’s more than three days worth. 🙂
I’ve been trying to find a quinoa recipe that looks appealing to me. None have really got me excited about eating quinoa, especially after I tried a boxed quinoa dish. Bleh. Our local health food store sells both white and red quinoa in bulk, so I could get however much I needed. I would like to try both since the taste is supposed to be different, the red being more “earthy” or “nuttier” according to what I’ve read. Anyway, I found this recipe on Pinterest. Looks yummy. Garlic and Thyme Quinoa Patties. I just placed an order with Mountain Rose Herbs, and now I wish I had included thyme and paprika. 😦 Also, here is the link to the whole article 32 Ways to Eat Quinoa and Succeed in Life. I haven’t read the other recipes yet, but I will.

Yay on the word count! That’s awesome. 😀
I never heard of quinoa before, so I checked out your links. You can really do a lot with it. 😀
I didn’t know much about it until Kait Nolan talked about eating it. It’s not really a grain, more of a seed, but it has great nutritional value. I’m going to try this recipe, plus a recipe for squash croquettes that my half-sister posted on Facebook. I’m always looking for new recipes so I can cut down on meat/saturated fats.
You rocked the word count on that one day! If you get that much in the remaining two days you’ll top 3,000 now. Woot, woot!
Thanks! I would be happy with 3000 this week. 🙂
MMMmmmm……yummy words.Yummy red quinoa, too. I’ve fallen out of eating it. but suddenly, a cold quinoa salad sound just right!
By the way, it’s very nice to see you in the middle of the week!
Hi, Shan. I’m going to try to continue to post mid-week.
I would like to incorporate quinoa into my diet. It’s pretty healthy.
