It's an easy-to-make grain that can replace rice in a lot of cold salad recipes. I LOVE it and eat it frequently. Here's some nutritional info from wikipedia:

Quote:

Quinoa was of great nutritional importance in pre-Columbian Andean civilizations, being secondary only to the potato, and followed in third place by maize. In contemporary times this crop has come to be highly appreciated for its nutritional value, as its protein content is very high (12%–18%), making it a healthy choice for vegetarians and vegans. Unlike wheat or rice (which are low in lysine), quinoa contains a balanced set of essential amino acids for humans, making it an unusually complete food. It is a good source of dietary fiber and phosphorus and is high in magnesium and iron. Quinoa is gluten free and considered easy to digest. Because of all these characteristics, quinoa is being considered as a possible crop in NASA's Controlled Ecological Life Support System for long-duration manned spaceflight

Most health food stores have it in their bulk section. I'll post the quinoa recipe later, if you're interested.

EEK!

I haven't posted for like 13 days. Where's my accountability peeps?

DH has the camera today, but I'm coming out of a transcription fog that has been keeping me up to 3 am each night typing. I have to stop this work, it's killing me.

So, I'm starting back up today with pictures starting tomorrow.

I hope you're having fabulous vegan snacks in the wee hours of the morning!

Looking forward to more pics.

Jen...that's it...I'm coming to live with you. I will do your cleaning, I will change diapers, I will watch kids so you can sleep. You just cook delicious vegan meals...but make enough for seconds.

Okay!

I've got a house in Nebraska. Let's meet halfway and live there. Or I can just start my intentional vegan gentle christian community here in CA in our backyard. Now that would be fun!

I'd totally trade food for other stuff. I LOVE to cook.

Sweet, it's set then. In honor, I will post my pancha mama's rice salad tomorrow.

Will you nurse my two-yr old for some baked tofu?? He's driving me

Firebird Rising · 07-05-2008, 09:11 AM

Well, I'm not doing the pancha mama's salad, I'll just show you some random things.

I ate this yesterday.

From our garden:
squash
swiss chard
alfalfa and radish sprouts
watermelon radish
jalapenos

Not from our garden:
tomatoes
beans
brown rice
potatoes

All for a total of under 6% fat and about 1600 calories. I ate some more today. My goal for the day is to stay under 10% fat. So, I will have a smoothie next 'cause my sweet tooth is acting out

Here's what I made for lunch:

Braised Eggplant from www.fatfree.com

1 large eggplant or 5 small eggplants
3 inches of fresh ginger sliced into fine strips
2 large cloves of garlic crushed
2 tablespoons soy sauce (try low salt, amount can be reduced)
2 tablespoons mirin (japanese sweet sake - or replace with sweet sherry)
1 teaspoon sugar (some people prefer more)
1 cup water or veggie stock (no salt),
1/2 tsp chinese five spice powder

Slice the eggplant into bite sized bits. Saute ginger and garlic in a
little liquid (1 tbsp) in a nonstick pan. Keep pan fairly dry. Brown
eggplant gently (5 to 10 minutes). Add seasoning mixture and water as
needed. Simmer until eggplant is cooked through.

This is good served on rice or toast, or wrapped in tortillas or rice paper
wrappers. I use small amounts to add flavor to bland foods like LF Tofu.
This keeps well in the fridge for several days. Left-over eggplant is
really tasty mixed into veggie burgers. Its even good in salads.

I'm eating it with rice right now and it's FANTASTIC.

"We want more pics and recipes.."

Firebird Rising · 07-16-2008, 10:51 PM

Your wish is my command. I just got home literally about two hours ago from Washington state where I've been since last Tuesday and am ready to start my food journey again. I gained 4 lbs in the time I was gone and am NOT happy about that at all. I'll start again tomorrow morning and have some pics and recipes up for you ASAP!!!
