Food for the Ravenous Soul
Happy Fennel Friday! We have a Superfood theme going for Fennel Friday this week – Quinoa and Fennel recipes! I cannot think of a combo that could make me happier – nutrient and flavor packed, you can pair so many things with fennel and quinoa. I decided to share a recipe for Fennel Pollen scented [...] Read more »
IMHO, making perfect Quinoa is not as tricky as making perfect rice. I frequently make a larger batch and then use it over several days by adding it to salads, soups or using it for another recipe. Quinoa does not turn hard like rice when you store it in the fridge. The most cost effective [...] Read more »
With flu season in full swing, some spice is a great infection fighter. A huge bag of TruRoots Organic Sprouted Beans from Costco was waiting for us to create some recipes. Put the two together and we have a Sprouted Beach & Roasted Potato African Curry. Forget the rice and use quinoa as your base [...] Read more »

Maybe I am just feeling a bit nostalgic about impending Autumn and I am definitely excited for Fall foods, but this Fall salad with Quinoa and [...] Read more »
Since Summer is officially here, my desire to spend long hours in the kitchen decreases. I want to eat lighter and simpler and take full advantage of the bounty of summer produce. This recipe was inspired by the Quinoa and Grilled Sourdough Salad by Yotam Ottolenghi (yes, yes call me Chef Stalker) but I do say [...] Read more »
Cumin is one of my favorite spices – it is mandatory for so many things like scrambled eggs and curry and as the infused flavor for this gorgeous Quinoa and Black Rice Salad. The recipe came from Bon Appetit and I have made it multiple times since then! Beach parties, family gatherings or as the [...] Read more »
All Hail Fava Beans! Weird, right? It’s only weird until you taste these delectable little nuggets of bean goodness when they are freshly plucked from their cozy little pod and then you too will say ALL HAIL FAVA BEANS! I cannot imagine that I have never had a fava bean but I could not recall [...] Read more »
