Grain for the Day:Quinoa


This morning I tried quinoa - a whole grain that is a complete protein. It is also high in several minerals (http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?dbid=142&tname=foodspice). It has a mild nutty taste which I really liked. I served it with a Veggie/Turkey omelet (tomatoes, purple onions and green peppers and diced leftover turkey), avocado slices and pear tomatoes. This is a hearty breakfast, nutrition wise. It should keep my blood sugars level for several hours. Boy, am I enjoying this adventure in fresh foods! I don't even miss the junk foods.
