Home Sweet Home

Welcome Friends

This is our home sweet home!

We have lived here since August 2001. So many happy times have been had here. Lots of fun visits from family and friends! We love our home and our neighborhood, it is a wonderful place to live. The house next door and the house across the street are for sale. Any one want to be our neighbor?

Gallant Family said...: I'd have to sell my left arm and right eye to live next to you guys. Oh, that would be fun though. Your street sounds like ours, eight houses for sell all around us and that's just down our street, not on the other roads throughout the subdivision. YIKES!!! Too bad we aren't looking to buy.; May 5, 2008 at 9:41 PM

We have a great family! I love being a mom. It's getting better and better the older they get. Sure I occasionally look longingly at someones sweet bundle of newbornness, but really I'm over it and enjoying every second (almost) of raising my kids. I love their unique personalities and I'm so grateful for their love and obedience...ha ha okay, I am grateful for their love and I long for their obedience. They are amazing little people, I am so blessed. It's fun and sometimes maddening to see me and Tom in them. being a parent is awesome and as far as I can tell it only gets better!

So What is Quinoa?

Quinoa, pronounced KEEN-wa, is a tiny grain grown in the Andes. There are 3 common varieties namely Red, White, and Black. To the Incas, quinoa was called "the mother grain" because it was a major source of protein for them. It actually contains all of the essential amino acids making it a complete protein. Pretty cool, huh?
The quinoa used in this recipe is rolled. Just like how oats are made into oatmeal. Usually you can only get it by mail order. The most common variety is the whole white quinoa found in heath food stores. It is good to add to soup, cooks like rice and makes a good pilaf, yummy as a hot breakfast cereal and there are many more uses.
