I didnt intend this blog to keep track of my mood but it turns out it does without my intention. When life gets crazy I tend not to post. Only when my mind settles again do I think 'ok food yeah i should talk about food'. The moral is if I dont post for 2-3 weeks I am either out of town or my life is going nuts!
only thing to do when life gets nuts? eat quinoa! This is one of those modern day 'super foods ( a term I really dont like) because it is a plant based complete protein, yeah they exist. NASA started using it on flights because of the way it balances fiber and protein without fat or cholesterol (though I like fat). It is also my go to grain when I need something to eat and my mind is blank. The great thign about quinoa is it cooks just like rice in a quarter of the time! 1 cup Quinoa 1 1/2 C broth (though just water is fine too) bring ti to a boil then let it simmer for 15-20 min. The quinoa in this lunch was slightly toasted before I cooked it and had sauteed onions and garlic added. I balanced the meal with a broccoli carrot teriyaki and boy did the sweet/savory hit the spot!
