I'm so glad I found your blog(via Pinterest), but I'm definitely checking out your Yummly page! I recently started my fitness journey and have lost 12 pounds since May 27th. I've been trying to incorporate more proteins as I'm not a big meat eater, cut out white flour and sugar, and eat less processed foods. The eating part is easy, the exercise not so much. I'm such a lazy person! Anyway, I can't wait to try this for breakfast tomorrow! I just bought 4lbs of quinoa and need variety.
