Simply Seasonal: Quinoa, Beets, and Ramps Salad

Quinoa salads are a basic food for me because Quinoa is a great plant-based protein source, and it's gluten-free. Beets are kind of a polarizing food. At first bite, the experience is usually either, "Oh yum!" or "Oh yuck!" And beet juice makes everything look like a bloody mess, which... Continue reading

Linkage: Because Rhubarb Is Such A Fun Word, Let's Make Some Pie With Strawberries

I like saying the word "rhubarb." It's fun and rolls off the tongue amusingly like "kumquat." In fact, I would name a pet rhubarb, maybe a cat or a bird. Rhubarb looks like celery's bigger, pinker, party-friendly sibling. I'd much rather invite rhubarb to my neighborhood fundraising for the Fireman's... Continue reading

Thank you for sharing :-) Allen was a kind soul and touched the lives of many people. I really miss. Still having a hard time realizing that I don't have my healthy living geek friend to talk about health and tech stuff with any more. But, I know he's in a good place because he deserved it.
