Quinoa with a Greek Twist-Quick Dinner
A quick during-the-holiday-bustle meal
This dinner is so quick that I made it and am blogging about it before we eat—now that is quick!!
It probably took a full 30-minutes from start to finish to cook and assemble (using a rice cooker for the quinoa).
If you haven’t added quinoa (keen-wa) into your weekly dinner plans you really should consider it. It’s a great meatless meal and a complete protein that fills you up with the good stuff. Leftovers travel well for lunches too. read more…

NYT-Should We All Go Gluten Free?
An interesting article for those on a gluten free diet.
New York Times magazine article
Dr. Fasano’s study
Years ago our family participated in Dr. Fasano’s “incidence of celiac disease in the U.S. study” discussed in this article, that is how we discovered our asymptomatic daughter had celiac disease. At the time our son was the only known celiac in the family. Both children have had intestinal biopsies to confirm celiac disease. By receiving a firm diagnosis from a gastroenterologist, we were inspired to eliminate all gluten from their diets. For the asymptomatic teenager, a clinical diagnosis also helps with compliance issues that invariably arise. read more…
