Dinner, Jan 2, 10

A lovely, light gluten-free dinner for one: quinoa with peas and roasted cauliflower with sunflower seeds and cherry tomatoes....

The nice thing about the components is that they can be morphed for lunch or dinner later in the week...  the quinoa can be tossed with more veggies, and a bit of sausage or feta cheese...  The cauliflower can be transformed into a frittata...   or  tossed with g-f pasta, or added to some chicken...  

New Years Resolutions.

I'm putting this on here, as opposed to my regular blog, because a lot of it has to do with healthy eating.

So for the new year I am going to try to eat and make healthy gluten-free products. Lots of veggies, brown rice, buckwheat flour, fiber, whole grains... I do need to lose, and have a tendency to head for the unhealthy options as snacks or breakfast.... So this month I will work on healthy g-f breakfasts to start out with...
