We have mostly reserved it for a side dish, either standing on its own, or tossed with veggies, beans, dried fruit or other additions for a pilaf-style salad side dish. Amy has a post on here about a quinoa loaf we made that was good, but… Continue reading Mini Quinoa Cakes

Split Pea Soup for You & Baby

Chickpea Pot Pie
I've been wanting to make a pot pie for awhile now. I saw a rerun episode of Rachel Ray awhile back where she made a pot pie using puff pastry as the shell.
