Quinoa in action!

i'm all quinoa'd out today. feeling very ambitious and in a cooking/baking mood! i boiled some quinoa and the rest is history.

dinner: quinoa, spicy korean marinated chicken breast, and sauteed lettuce. i love buying romaine lettuce from costco with the intentions of making these wonderful salads, but usually i never get around to it. i realized that i don't really like salad, yet i have become pavlov's conditioned dog. costco = romaine lettuce. classical conditioning at its best. anyways, the lettuce is no longer fresh to be eaten in a salad, so i just sauteed it. a very crunchy yummy vegetable to eat!  i posted a picture of my dinner (really need to work on the presentation).

dessert: quinoa apple banana cinamon muffin!!! less than 100 calories and taste better than my oatmeal ones.
pretty much you can add quinoa or oatmeal to any recipe that calls for grains. also to make it even more healthy, anything that ask for vegetable oil or butter, you add apple sauce instead. substitute agava sweetner for sugar. booyakasha!!! there you go.

  1. okay!!! correction: I don't swear by agave anymore. I still use it but in moderation. read somewhere that agave nectar actually have 90% fructose which is higher than HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP (HFCS). If you read anything in the the ingredient with HFCS, you are better off skipping it.
