foodie friday.
I didn't manage to upload any photos this am, so you'll have to use your imagination. Two things to share today –
1. Kale & Quinoa "greek" salad – this has been a lunch favorite this week. Saute kale with olive oil over medium heat for just a few minutes. Toss with cooked quinoa – I just made a bunch in my rice cooker one morning & used it throughout the week. Throw in a few kalamata olives & feta cheese. YUM! (I also wanted a bit of crunch, so I added a tablespoon or so of pumpkin seeds – not greek, but good!)
2. Gorgonzola, Pear, & Walnut Risotto – Barb & I made this in Chicago, and I decided to wing it last night. Tons of recipes online (go google. I'll wait) One change that I made – I sauted the walnuts & pears in a bit of butter before adding them. The pears were looking a bit sad, so basically used the butter to compensate!
Oh, and a *bonus* – my fave smoothie from the week – almond/coconut milk blend, banana, peanut butter, oatmeal, and maca powder.
Happy (foodie) Friday!

Yay – we’re back! And I hope you enjoy the scones we have made. 250+ of them. We’re exhausted! http://lindybasenji.typepad.com/two_happy_bellies/2012/02/cream-scones.html

You're telling us! And we also just finished making about six cups of Devonshire Cream. While this has been fun, I can't wait until it is over.
