Quinoa Tabouli Tradition
With friends that we try to see regularly, Quinoa Tabouli has become a tradition. Even to the point that our friends are the ones who supply most of the ingredients! The cutest part is that they have two little babies. One is not yet 2 and the other is around 3. The babies walk in the door, sit down at the table, and ask for food, usually “keen-wah, keen-wah” over and over. My goodness, they just about melt me! Okay, they DO melt me!
Leftover Quinoa
We love leftover cooked quinoa. It is ideal in all sorts of skillet dishes. Our favorite is the most simple: I will soften diced onions in extra virgin olive oil (or unrefined coconut oil or red palm oil) in a cast iron skillet, then incorporate the leftover quinoa. Once it is all warm, I season [...]

These are dinner cakes, meant to be eaten as “bread” along with main dishes such as chicken, chicken salad, hummus, or wild salmon salad. Treat one of these similar to a Middle Eastern pocket bread (without the pocket) that is held in one hand, alternately taking bites of it and the other foods on one’s [...]
Cold Quinoa Salad
Undoubtedly, my favorite grain is quinoa. We use it in place of rice, for variety. I think it is beautiful. The pearls turn translucent when cooked and the pretty little spiral threads that curl off the grains are enchanting. This summer, I’ve discovered cold grain salads — and quinoa makes delicious cold salads. This is [...]

Quinoa Tabouli
Last week our grocery store had organic parsley, which I haven’t seen all winter. I bought 4 bunches to make tabouli. Tabouli is a Middle Eastern salad traditionally made with parsley, green onions and bulgur wheat, and dressed with extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice and salt. I enjoy making our tabouli with quinoa [...]
