Looks like we took August off. Can we start doing this again? I have no plan to share this week but would love to hear others' plans.
I also plan to do a lot of freezer cooking this Fall - ie, make double batch of something and freeze half for future use. I can't seem to find the time to cook every night, even if it is something that takes less than 30 minutes. Luckily Fall/Winter meals such as soups and stews freeze well! |

Tuesday: Broiled tilapia and broccoli Wednesday: Mediterranean turkey burgers and greek salad Thursday: Leftovers Friday: CPK frozen pizza and salads Saturday: We usually grab a casual dinner out WOHM mom: my philosophy on the weeknights is if I can't get it on the table in 20-30 minutes, I don't make it. |

Anyone have good quinoa recipe suggestions? Just read that soaking first can take off some of the bitterness. (But I don't know if that also reduces the nutritional value...but I don't much like the quinoa bitter.) Thanks!
I rinse mine several times and that takes away enough of the bitterness for us. My favorite way to make it is to boil it in chicken stock and lots of curry powder. Then I add a little olive oil, sliced almonds, peas and raisins or craisins. Tonight were going to try Real Simple's recipe for quinoa patties with sweetpotatoes. |
