So I’ve posted a recipe or two the last couple months that make use of quinoa (pronounced keen-wah). I don’t exactly remember how I first heard about it. I think I just saw it in the bulk bins at the Wedge Co-Op in Minneapolis when I was there stocking up on beans and decided to give it a try… not really reading about it till after I got home.
I get a number of questions on Twitter and such about quinoa, so I thought maybe I should get something posted that gets in to just what it is in some detail.

I am blatantly stealing an idea from Shelly, aka Eggface. She often posts “A day in my pouch” where she summarizes her meals/snacks for the day. Not sure if this will be the final title for my version, but for now we have Spending the Day with Joe (Joe is the name I sometimes use when referring to my pouch).
Breakfast started out with my usual oatmeal… but pumpkinized.
I’ve been on another cooking binge (as you can see from a few of my recent posts), and in talking bout it on Twitter more than few people have been commenting to me on how they don’t cook, and someone asked me “How do you find your balance between eating to live and living to eat?”
This reminded me of an article on Zenhabits that has been sitting in my “topics” pile for awhile… and I thought it was time to hit this one up. Cause whether yer pre-op or post-op, married or single, there’s a pretty good chance the most intimate relationship you have is your relationship with food.
“I used to snort coke, but I had to stop. The bubbles tickled my nose too much.”
I originally wrote this for my personal site just over a year ago, but after reading How to Break a Sugar Addiction over on Summer Tomato and some postings on the BTV forums, I thought it was worth re-posting here…
Other than it’s a year later, the sentiments are pretty much still the same.
