Quinoa pesto bowls are versatile, nutrient-dense and delicious. Homemade pesto is quick and easy. You can use store-bought pesto for a quick dinner; as always read the ingredient label first. Variations Use snap peas, green beans, or asparagus instead of broccoli. What other vegetables could you use? Use chicken instead of shrimp Add edamame or […]
Porridge does not induce visions of delicious food but oh lala a warm bowl on a cold morning is soooo comforting. Because I often get asked for gluten-free ideas, particularly for breakfast, I’ve been playing with quinoa options. The result perfectly fits the dictionary description of porridge. 1. a food made of oatmeal, or some […]
Who knew eggplant could be yummy? It’s probably my least favorite vegetable, but this recipe makes an un-favorite veggie into a delicious meal! I serve it over CMF Quinoa, or if time allows, I make quinoa “cakes”. The quinoa cakes are a great breakfast option, so I make enough go have for dinner and breakfast: […]
This originally happened by using leftovers. In my refrigerator I had leftover quinoa and grilled salmon and made it into a summertime dinner with arugula and tomatoes.

Growing up in Bolivia, quinoa was a staple. When I moved to the US to go to college, I missed it so much that every trip home, I always packed a good supply to take back. It was exciting when quinoa started showing up in US stores, and is now everywhere. I love its unique […]
I like the texture and colors of a wild rice blend, but also use brown rice instead. The chicken broth enhances the flavor (and nutrients); use vegetable broth instead for vegan guests, or even simply use water. As a side dish it also pairs nicely with grilled chicken, broiled fish brushed with extra-virgin olive oil […]
