New Gilbert Temple

We are getting a Temple in Gilbert, Arizona! It's only going to be about 5 miles from our house. This is an idea of what they are thinking of building it like. The Mesa Temple is the closest one we have now. It is about 12 miles away. The other temple in Arizona is in Snowflake. I've never been there. I guess we just have so many members of the church here that we needed another one! It's getting to be like Utah around here.

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.
