  I sat down to study. Opened the lap-top. Read the first line of that journal article on Indigenous women and feminism. And the brain’s energy circuits shorted. Cue staring at the screen for a solid five minutes. Not taking a single thing in. Right. If study is out the window then surely blogging is in? Nada. This gal’s brain is currently sending out signals along the lines of bleuaighleighmmmmnop. And intermittently at that. It’s struggle town. Tonight’s post is going to be short and sweet, me thinks. This situation calls for a recipe that is beyond simple. Virtually impossible to make a boo-boo out of. Tasty, regardless of how terribly you maul it in your zombie-brain state.

  I have read countless articles and blog posts in the past few years expounding the marvels of quinoa. It’s been touted as the new super food. A wonder grain. A nutritional powerhouse. At first I was skeptical and wrinkled my nose at the thought of it. Can anything really live up to those kind of standards? It turns out it can. Quinoa is low GI, high in fiber, gluten-free and packed with iron and vitamins B and E.

I have had it in soup, salads, patties/burgers, for breakfast and even in muffins. If you are trying it for the first time the texture may seem a bit odd and I have to admit that it did take me a while to get used to (and appreciate) it’s uniqueness. On the plus side it readily takes on the flavour of whatever it is cooked in (be that stock, fruit juice, milk…the options are virtually endless) so it rarely fails in the taste department.
