I hope you guys have been enjoying all of the amazing guest posts we've had lately.
Someone emailed me the other day and asked me if I was still cooking. 🙂 (It was a friendly email and the question was a bit tongue in cheek.)
The answer to that question is YES! Well, sort of.
We just moved into a house where we will be for the next five months. (To me, that is a long time.) The kitchen is positively glorious. I've spent the last week getting settled, thinking about all the things I want to cook and getting really excited.
I just made the first few recipes for QuinoaFit 2 (Out in January 2014), which I'm thinking of calling Quinoa Strong. (Thoughts?)
The only reason that I haven't already gotten more done is this little angel.
To say that she is a busy girl is an understatement.
She's in her third week of teething and my poor girl is having such a hard time of it. Her two bottom teeth are still only about half way in. It really breaks my heart. I've tried everything I know to do for her, but nothing seems to help. Other than teething tablets. (She's too little for teething biscuits and I seem to remember those being a lifesaver with the boys.)
Though I've tried not to do this much until now, but these days I'm laying down with her for her nap.
I love every minute but it kinda makes it hard to get anything done. 🙂 Hopefully we will get through this in the next few weeks and normal naps will resume.
In the meantime, I've got a great recipe for you from QuinoaFit. Enjoy!
