Cheesy Quinoa & Cauliflower Bake

My first experience with quinoa that I can remember is Marlina making this recipe.  It was a hit in our house and gone fast-too fast!  This was before quinoa became so popular.  I think what I most liked about it stands true to this day-it’s healthy & you can feel good about eating it.  Quinoa is definitely one of my favorite grains to work with-I love using it in salads or as a main dish. I love the vegetables added to this dish-I don’t eat a lot of cauliflower & leeks and the combination works out perfectly.  Plus the cheesy cheddar & dill flavor-you can’t beat thatJ Yum!  I’ll be sure to make this before I work-great leftovers & lunch!

P.S. Happy Canada Day!

Swiss Chard & Spinach Pie

 

When I was younger, we went to the farmers market every weekend-no excuses.  We used to sell coffee & tea.  We loved going every week, and part of the reason was that we got to purchase spanakopita’s from a local bakery.  We would buy and eat plenty of them-they were up on our favorite snacks!

Lemon Ricotta Bars

It’s not surprising that I love lemon desserts.  I love them in crepes, muffins, pie-you name it.  And while I haven’t made anything lemony in a while-sometimes you wake up with a craving.  You just gotta have some intense citrusy flavors to start your day.  Pucker up, my friends!

Fuller Family Marshmallow Squares

Working around Christmastime isn’t all that bad-it has its perks.  Staff members usually bring food, and after indulging in plenty of treats over the years there are some that stand out in my mind.  You go back for another & another...Yes I have no shame. Luckily, it’s great when a friend brings it in and you get to snag the recipe!  Thank you Chris & Mrs. Fuller for the recipe!;)
