Quinoa

Doesn't this recipe look good? Quinoa is quickly becoming one of my favorite foods. And then I read this interesting article, which made it even more appealing. I think I'll have to try the quinoa pudding!

And who knew this is what the plant looked like!


Any quinoa recipes to share?

Finger Foods

This morning, Riley decided that she wasn't going to eat the scrambled egg yolk with mushrooms and creme fraiche ... at least not with a spoon. But she was quite happy picking through the pile with her fingers, and actually managed to get most of it in her mouth. So ... scrambled eggs ... the new finger food?
