The salmon recipe looks real good.:9
I think I'll try the Quiona porridge one again and reheat the second serving. This morning I cut the recipe in half and that worked well but it took time to make.
Ha, food pictures always look yummy in magazines but not when I prepare them:+

Quinoa naturally has a bitter coating, called 'saponin', that is a natural defense against predators. Some brands have washed this off, and just need a light rinse to remove dust and such, but other brands need to be rinsed well to remove it (it's best to put the quinoa in a bowl, add water and swish the quinoa around, then drain the quinoa through a fine-mesh sieve and rinse under running water).

Kathryn,
I had a feeling you'd have an answer to this question! How do you know so much about health/health foods?...I want whatever magazines you subscribe to!!!
Thanks for the explanation!

I've been a vegetarian for over 30 years (vegan for around 15), and I've read a lot in that time (I prefer books to magazines, because they go into more depth).

Kathryn,
Have you read The China Study by T. Colin Campbell? My friend has told me good things about this book and has changed her lifestyle to follow the recommendations made by the author. I'm thinking about buying it but I'm afraid I'll find it too intimidating (in the sense that I'd feel like I'll never be able to follow through with all the advice). If you've read it, what do you think about it?

I sent this to Lainie's website, but thought I'd post it here too.
Hi Lainie,
I have a quick and easy Quinoa recipe for you to add to your website:
Quinoa and Black Beans
1 tsp canola oil
1/2 bell pepper, chopped
2 T chopped red onion
1/2 C canned black beans, rinsed
2 T broth (or water)
1/2 C hot Quinoa (cook according to package directions)
Salsa to taste (optional)
Heat oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add bell pepper and onion and cook until almost tender. Add beans and broth (or water) to the pan. Cook until heated through. Stir in quinoa. Add Salsa to taste (I use Newman's Own Medium Chunk Mild Salsa and I use A LOT because I love it and feel that it gives the recipe a kick!)
Makes 2 servings, about 1/2 c each
162 calories; 4g fat; 0mg cholesterol; 27g carbohydrate; 6 g protein; 4 g fiber; 60 mg sodium; 224 mg potassium
Quick, easy, tasty and healthy...enjoy!

I think one of the most useful aspects of it is how Campbell shows how published studies are often misleading, and how that comes about.
I also think that the upcoming new books by Joel Fuhrman will be good (they will present a more gradual way to get into the way of eating prescribed in his book "Eat to Live," but which many people found to be too drastic a change in a short time).
