I made this bread yesterday and had it for breakfast this morning and it was yummy. It has a nutty flavour and is very satisfying. It is wheat, gluten, sugar, egg and grain free!!! It is high in Protein and Fibre. Buckwheat is high in Manganese and the phytonutrient Quercetin. Chia Sees are a good […]
A couple of weeks ago I made a salad of Black Rice and Quinoa to go with my Taco meal. When cooking the Black Rice and Quinoa, I cooked extra and put it in the freezer, so I would have an easy base for another meal when I needed to make something up quickly. I […]
We love Mexican flavours, so we often have Mexican or Tex Mex dinners. This is a delicious dinner but it does have a number of steps so it takes a little bit of time to prepare. However, much of it can be prepared in advance, so at dinner time all you need to do is […]
Made this vegan Mexican Salad for lunch on Sunday. Fresh and delicious for a sunny al fresco lunch. It is also very easy to make and uses ingredients that most of us will have in the pantry and fridge. The quinoa and kidney beans provide a good source of protein, the avocado and olive oil […]
Arrived back in Dublin on Monday and am now acclimatising to the cold weather and getting over my jet lag!! I decided I needed some warming comfort food so made a big pot of Minestrone Soup which went down well with everyone in the house for a tasty lunch. Made it slightly differently to my […]
Another recipe using up my fabulous farm produce! Courgette Slice – it is a great recipe also to use cooked quinoa which you might have in the fridge. The cooked slice keeps very well in fridge and is great for lunches. 6 small courgettes, grated mixed with 1 1/2 cups cooked quinoa (I cooked mine […]
I recently made a vegetable quiche for dinner using Quinoa flour for the pasty base. The Quinoa flour gave the pastry a sort of nutty flavour which was good. Using Quinoa flour made this pastry gluten and wheat free, and Quinoa is a good source of protein. The filling can easily be made dairy free […]
Here is another quinoa recipe, quite similar to the last one I posted, except this is vegetarian and has a teriyaki flavour. Also being in a rented house the utensils are limited, so I cooked it slightly differently and I think the result is actually better. This quantity fed the two of us with leftovers […]
As promised, a recipe using cooked quinoa. An easy mid week tasty quick dinner. Add sliced chicken breast (allow one per person) to thai red curry paste (enough to cover the chicken well) and marinade chicken for a few hours. Saute chopped pineapple in 1 1/2 tablespoons of coconut oil. When caramelised, take out of […]
QUINOA – it seems people either love it or hate it !!! Quinoa is quite bland by itself, but actually that makes it an excellent base for other flavours and this is where I love its flexibility. Quinoa is a gluten free, high protein seed. Quinoa contains 9 essential amino acids which the body needs […]
