Recipe Review
I am trying something new this week.
I
have an upcoming colonoscopy, and am so limited in what I eat this week, that I
can’t create and review many recipes. So I was thinking about putting something
new in this section and then I had an epiphany. I am going to talk about some
recipes I wish I could create, but won't, because of allergies or just
because I don’t like certain types of food.
I hope you appreciate the new recipes
even though there will be no review.
Today’s
Recipe and Location: Quinoa
with Tomato Basil and Mozzarella
Found
in: The Pioneer Woman blog
Quinoa? Am I living in a parallel world? What the heck it is? The picture makes it looks like seeds
or pomegranate innards. I read a
bunch of articles and basically learned that quinoa comes from South America. Many
sources said that is high in protein and extremely healthy for us. It seemed
to have a lot of nutrients and contained the good fats. Another side benefit is that it is an
anti-inflammatory. I guess there will come a recipe that I can make that has
quinoa as an ingredient I will have to force myself (in the future) to try this
one.
Trivial Triffles
I
love writing this blog. I forgot how much fun it was to write and immerse
myself in something of this magnitude. I have to admit that it is a lot of
work, but I smile each time I post.
One
of the positives of writing this is that I have become very aware of my
surroundings and my feelings about things in my environment. Everywhere I go I
seem to find something wonderful to take away and share with the world – or
should I say the people who read this each day.
Memory Musings
As
a child, I don’t remember eating out a great deal, but when we did, it was a
real treat. There are two very
strong memories of going out as a family.
The
first place I remember going to was Rex’s Cork and Fork. This was a place where
we went for a fabulous breakfast on the occasional Sunday morning. This was a
real treat because we could order anything we wanted, and I loved their French
toast. I loved going out to breakfast as a family because it made the day
special.
Dog
n’ Suds was the other restaurant I remember. I loved going there because it was
a unique experience. This was so much fun because they delivered the food to
our car on a tray. Dog n’ Suds served huge, extremely heavy class mugs of rootbeer. As a kid, this was a big
deal. My Mom always ordered a Coney Dog, but I don’t remember what I ate, which
is funny. My main memory is of that frosty mug. What I wouldn’t give for one
right now.
