An Ode to Quinoa

January 17, 2010

Though most people think of quinoa as a lunch or dinner meal, my favorite time of day to eat it is for breakfast.

…Because of this, I will not be posting the recipe in the near future, as I hope you will bid on them for this great cause instead.

Breakfast Quinoa On-the-Go!

January 10, 2010

A few weeks back, I came up with an idea for a recipe. I decided that today was the perfect day to try it out, since we’ll need lots of fuel for this week’s 14+ hour drive from Wisconsin to Ithaca, NY, and these little beauties are nice and portable.
I present to you: Breakfast Quinoa [...]

A Vegan Breakfast

So Much Pumpkin!
After making pumpkin scones yesterday, I have a ton of leftover pumpkin puree to use up.  Tragic, I know. 
With that in mind, I decided to start the day with some Pumpkin Breakfast Quinoa:
I replaced a bit of the milk and water with about a tablespoon [...]

Breakfast Quinoa with Almond Butter, Chopped Apple, Cacao Nibs and less than a teaspoon of maple syrup.  I realized partway into class that I didn’t have a picture, and it would [...]

It Feels Like Fall

September 29, 2009

It definitely feels like fall today.  I had to break out the pea coat for the first time this season…brr!
I had a larger lunch today since I don’t have time for a snack on Tuesdays… a “Power Lecture” (75 minutes instead of 50), immediately followed by the 3-hour lab I help teach…
A pear with 2 [...]

Early to Bed

September 27, 2009

I’m pretty sure I’m going to go to bed before 9 tonight.  I am that tired.
As a result, I haven’t been super-efficient today, but I’ve still been getting some work done.  A little more work for my internship tonight, then I think I’ll call it today.
The two parts of my dinner don’t really go together, [...]

A very "off" week

September 23, 2009

I don’t know what is up with me this week!  I’ve been forgetful and exhausted, falling asleep on the couch two nights in a row.  Apparently, 6-7 hours of sleep doesn’t do it for me anymore?  Huh.  Its bound to get better soon, though!
No picture of breakfast this morning because I was running late.  However, [...]

1/3 c. vanilla soy milk
1/2 T. pumpkin butter
1 peach
1 T. pepitas
Cinnamon

By the time I got to class, the peach was all warm from the quinoa.  It was sooo good.  I’ll be making this again for [...]

Thank You, Pharmacy Gods

September 14, 2009

I was incredibly sleepy when I dragged my body out of bed this morning.  Not to mention incredibly stiff from the soccer/run yesterday, despite the fact that I iced my knees last night.  So when I did get up, I turned on the kitchen light and went into my still-mostly-dark living room to stretch for [...]
