So, last night the Lee girls tried some organic quinoa that we bought at Whole Foods in Mt. Pleasant, SC. We all really liked it. In fact, Morgan said that she likes it better than rice! Here's the recipe I used...
Saute several sliced carrots, diced onion and sliced mushrooms in about 2 T olive oil until soft. Add 2 cups chicken broth and 1 cup quinoa. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Yep, folks, that's it!
Tonight, we had a good old standby meal - meatloaf, baked potatoes and sliced strawberries and bananas. Many of you know that Morgan hasn't had any beef in more than 2 years. So, I often used ground turkey breast as a substitute. However, it can sometimes become too dried out. These days I make my meatloaf as follows:
1 lb ground turkey breast
1 lb ground pork
1/2 c oatmeal
1/2 c milk
2 eggs, beaten
This does make a huge meatloaf but one of my favorite things is a meatloaf sandwich (memories of The Fern in Findlay, Ohio).
Here's hoping the Groundhog will bring us good news tomorrow. Wondering if he'll even be able to get out of his home...
