Quinoa

Posted Sep 11 2009 2:07pm

After the gym tonight I was HUNGRY and ready to try something new! I’ve never made or eaten Quinoa before, but after hearing about it a lot lately I thought I’d give it a try.

It’s a gluten free seed that is filled with:

  • Protein
  • Fiber
  • Amino Acids
  • Antioxidants
  • Vitamins
  • Minerals

It’s super easy to make and I didn’t have much time so I kept it pretty simple tonight.

  • Sauteed Onion & Garlic
  • Boiled 2 Cups of Water
  • Added 1 cup of Quinoa
  • Simmer 15 min.
  • Mixed in Diced Tomato
  • Season

I made a side salad

  • Organic Spring Mix
  • Dried Mixed Berries
  • Balsamic

I really liked the Quinoa, it was definitely…..different than anything I’ve had lately!

A piece of Endangered Species Chocolate

It felt really good to get to the gym and eat a healthy meal tonight–vacation is always fun but it’s for sure always filled with DELICIOUS foods that aren’t necessarily the best for me.

Oh but I did have an AMAZING Veggie Pizza at Gordon Biersch in AZ–it had *Spinach*SunDried Tomato Pesto with Artichokes*Mushrooms*Roma Tomato*Parm Cheese” They were like little slices of heaven–good thing we have one here in SD! :)
