“Seedy” Quinoa : A Vegetarian Recipe Fit for the Birds (gluten-free)

seedy quinoa

This recipe for quinoa with seeds started with simply adding sunflower seeds… then I must have started channeling a sparrow or something & went a little seed crazy…lol.  Since quinoa is actually a seed as well, this could have been aptly named a bowl o’ seeds, but calling it “seedy” was the only thing that [...]

Paleo Veggie Burgers (Gluten-free, Grain-free, Legume-free)

There seems to be a general lack of  Paleo or even gluten-free Veggie Burger recipes around.  When I saw “paleo” recipes with beans in them it reminded me of when my daughter was on a gluten & casein free diet and I couldn’t find any gluten-free veggie burgers in the store.  It annoyed me.  Now [...]
