Recipe: Pop-Q’s (puffed quinoa & maple syrup bites)

February 25, 2015 By Jana Leave a Comment

Pop-Q's

I've been curious about quinoa for a while.  Recently I spent some time learning about quinoa and why it is considered a superfood.  The result of this effort was a post called Simplifying Quinoa which summarizes many of quinoa's highlights, and a post in Helpful Hints: The Many Faces of Cooking Quinoa.  What I'm most thrilled with, however, is this recipe that "popped" into my head as I stood staring at my puffed quinoa. After learning how awesome quinoa is -- being a plant protein and a ...

The Many Faces of Cooking Quinoa

Popped Quinoa Stovetop

As I perused the aisles of my local organic market for something interesting in the cereal products, I discovered a bag of puffed quinoa.  I had heard so much about what a superfood quinoa was but had yet to try it myself.  I figured this was a good product to start with as it required no preparation. The next day I opened the bag, poured it in a bowl, tossed some dried cherries and walnuts on top, added  some almond milk and voila--the perfect breakfast.  It's packed with plant-based protein, ...

Simplifying Quinoa

Picture of raw quinoa

What is Quinoa? Well, the mystery is solved: Quinoa is pronounced ‘keen-wah’.  It comes from South America, and while it is commonly referred to as a grain it is actually a seed.  It is a "pseudo grain" or "pseudo cereal" because it is not actually a member of the grass family.  You will see it in red, gold and black varieties, and they all pretty much taste the same. Now let's talk about all of its nutritional goodness! Quinoa is a considered a "superfood".   The Oxford Dictionary ...

There is no thrill quite like opening a new cookbo There is no thrill quite like opening a new cookbook for the first time! Akin to exploring an uncharted destination; the possibilities are endless! As the title of this culinary masterpiece by Gina Zarcadoolas reads,"Cuisines, Corkscrews, & Cultures: A Treasury of Recipes, Wine Pairings, and Travel Lifestyles", the discovery is no longer metaphorical! Gina graciously includes us in her global travels while sharing a treasury of cultural recipes and wine pairing suggestions!

I was so excited to make "Gina's Naughty Spaghetti alla Puttanesca" (pictured above), and it did not disappoint! The well-crafted combination of gratifying flavors played out in a symphony of color and textures. As many of you know, I eat a plant-based diet. By no means does that mean I can't enjoy all of the delightful combinations of ingredients that Gina employs in her phenomenal recipes. Sometimes it just means a quick and easy substitution. For example, in this lovely Puttanesca, I merely substituted plant-based meat for the anchovies. To maintain the taste of the sea, a small addition of seaweed does the trick!
🍽
With the holidays fast approaching, I am always on the lookout for great gift ideas. Gina's cookbook, and all it has to offer, would definitely make a lovely present to bestow! You can find Gina and her cookbook @foodieandwinelover
Sometimes no plan is the plan! At least that was t Sometimes no plan is the plan! At least that was the case this weekend as I traveled down the apropos named "Road to Nowhere"--alternatively Corridor H in West Virginia. Resistant to abandon my plans to study for the day as I eagerly look forward to completing my continuing education and additional certifications in nutrition and wellness.
🍁
After some convincing I acquiesced. I've spent much of my life in two of the neighboring states to West Virginia, but my travels there rest solidly in the single digits. Once firmly afoot the gorgeous Appalachian Mountains, I realized a deficit in my life. Air--fresh air. Breaths--slow and deep. Healing--quieting stress in mind and body.
🍁
Looking around I knew it was important to capture this moment. A reminder. Grabbing my phone that had long since disconnected itself from cyberspace, I began snapping pictures. The leaves are turning, the wind turbines are spinning, and the colors are amazing. I've shared a couple above if you'd like a taste.
🍁
I am a planner and, "A goal without a plan is just a wish." Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. But on this day letting go of the plan was the best plan of all! So tell me, are you a planner?? Do you plan not to plan?? How do you unplug? Have you taken a ride on the road to nowhere?

Today’s IG Live is all about herbs! They can wor Today’s IG Live is all about herbs! They can work culinary miracles when it comes to changing a flavor profile! But did you know they also amp up the nutrient value of your dish? A tablespoon of parsley has 8% of your Daily Value of vitamin C and can be a natural diuretic. Many herbs contain antioxidants and can act as anti-inflammatory agents. If you don't already love herbs, you will after you watch the live chat I had with Lori Corbin. Along with nutritional benefits, we talk about how to store, use, and even grow your own! Lori provides great tips for growing herbs inside and out! If you missed it, be sure to check out the replay on @LoriCorbinTV . What is your favorite herb(s), and how often do you use it?? Let me know in the comments below! 🌱🥰🌱😋
