Art work, kids, toast and pickles....huh?

Cami, Megan and Lucas spent some time coloring the other day. That's Megan behind the self-portrait...can't you tell? Cami made the "valentines" and Lucas made the 3-D little pigs story..not shown in the picture is the paper straw house and the paper stick house..both destroyed by the paper wolf.

Carri said...: I love Cami's valentines. So true to life, right? Now if we could just figure out a way to make all the kids understand that they will be siblings FOREVER and they better start to like each other...; October 5, 2008 at 4:14 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.
