Thanks for the tip My own woman!

I will be sure to try it out. It sounds like you are doing really well nowadays. I ordered the book you suggested, Healing the Addictive Mind.

Oh good! Let me know what you think of the book. It was truly powerful for me, but I never know if such stuff is all-around good or just what I needed at the time.

Hi,
I have just found this website and quinoa, I make a batch of it ahead of time and then in the morning I take 1/2 cup quinoa, a chopped banana and 1tbsp of peanut butter and heat it up. Then I add some cinnamon. It is a strange combo but it is good and it "sticks" with you until lunch.

MOW,
Thanks for the tip on Quinoa, I bought some and already after a few days I can feel the difference, it evens settles my stomach!
I have it for dinner then the leftovers for breaksfast.
Heres what I did last night
Cooked quinoa with chicken stock and a big juicy tomato
added when cooked steamed cubed carrot and kumera (orange sweet potato) baby spinach, finely diced shallots & red capsicum and mung sprouts for crunch, I did give it a slurp of cold pressed olive oil just before serving.
My husband loved it!
Thanks

i also cool it and put it in salads.
there is so much you can do with it and is better than wheat or corn.
yum yum

I LOVE quinoa - not eating it right now, but I use it in place of most all of my pastas, rice and they even have quinoa flakes - like mashed potatoes!

mmmmm

I am eating quinoa all the time. I hate the quinoa pasta shells @ lunch and then regular quinoa in some homemade soup. Just bought more. As a vegetarian, I never knew if I was getting enough protein. Quinoa is the best thing ever. Wish I had found it years ago. I have had it for breakfast too with granola and blueberries. I think I have had it 5 days in a row not in different variations. I am enjoying experimenting. I never cook or create with food so this is definately new! My brain was always to consumed with getting a wine fix previously I think. This new way is nice. Oh yeah- quinoa has amino acids to make the brain happy! It really is a miracle food.

I bought PH papers today to test my alkaline levels. They say that if you have too much acid in your body, cancers can form so it is very important to keep within the specificed range and make lifestyle/diet changes if needed. I am really getting into the neuroscience of food, meaning food can be used as medicine. That is what macrobiotics is all about. And quinea is perfect!

just found this thread........you are all so upbeat, so infectious!

I cooked it once, in chicken stock, and made couscous with it. Brought it to work, everyone loved it.

Have been drinking more than eating, until I found MWO. I used to love to cook, going to go to the farm stand for some baby spinach, stop and get some more quinoa and start cooking! Thanks all!
