picnics and pantries.: kamut greek salad.
http://picnicsandpantries.blogspot.com/2012/02/greek-salad-kamut.html
Sunday, February 26, 2012. I am in full support of finding ways to incorporate whole grains into our diets. A scary ancient grain. A) high in fiber. B) relatively high in protein. C) low glycemic index. Apologies to all my gluten intolerant, celiac friends! Whole grains include fiber. And fiber rich products play an important role in healthy weight maintenance. Not only do they take you longer to chew, but the bulk makes you feel fuller for longer. No, no, no type II diabetes! Spiced up savory popcorn.

Thursday, October 13, 2011. Chilly outside. chili inside. Thanksgiving leftovers = depleted. Fridge stock up = necessary. Soup season is upon us. 1 batch = 8 servings? I've portioned mine out into tupperware containers and tossed them in the freezer, and now I have a hearty meal when I need to pack a lunch but am in a hurry. Pre-portioned chili overnight oats. I've also mixed in some cooked quinoa for some extra sustenance when I have the time to enjoy it at home. 2 tbsp. canola oil. 2 tsp ground cumin.

Saturday, March 17, 2012. Holidays are a blogger's dream. They are the one day a year when food can magically transform from. Gross looking to festive! Truth be told, I've been drinking green smoothies for awhile, but I had to wait long and hard for today so that my delicious concoction might actually appeal to the masses. I mean, if you'll drink green beer. Why not drink a green smoothie. I believe at the end of every rainbow there are cauldrons filled with this creamy minty. Are sipping from it merrily.
