Quinoa 101

I get a lot of questions about quinoa, why I use it in so many recipes, and why I eat so much of a "grain", when I should really be getting rid of all those "carbs".

Well, instead of writing a lengthy boring blog post about it, I found an incredible video by Health Counselor Dani Spies, whose website is packed with information about some of the most basic ingredients.  Here she'll explain, in detail, that quinoa is not actually a grain (it's closely related to spinach and beets) and how it's a powerhouse of protein and nutrition.  She'll also show you how to cook it (all in under 4 minutes!)

Sharing Information - Recommended Articles

Lacey and I love sharing our experiences and adventures since we have both started to pursue healthier lifestyles. We have both taken different routes - Lacey going vegan and myself going gluten and dairy free (due to food allergies). We do a lot of reading and research, as well as experimenting with a variety of recipes and other healthy lifestyle changes. We can learn a lot from each other, I really think it's all about sharing information and raising awareness.

See below for a several articles that I recommend reading if you are interested in learning more about living a healthier lifestyle. Post a comment below to share any of your favorite articles!
