Cilantro and Quinoa


I'm sure glad we've got cilantro in the freezer and cumin in the cupboard. My husband said he read about a group of guys who went on a ten-day canoe trip and forgot the salt and seasonings. He said, "I'd go back. I would. I'd say, 'See you guys, but I'm going back for the salt!'"

Right. I think I'd go back for the cumin and cilantro! Healthy eating (read: eating mostly raw, natural foods) wouldn't be half as much fun without the cumin and cilantro...and freshly squeezed lemon.

Lunch today: quinoa, fresh guacamole (with lots of cilantro and cumin), grated beets, grated carrots, and sprouts (the crunchy pea sprout mix and broccoli mix from Mumm's Sprouting Seeds:http://www.sprouting.com/). All this was topped with a splash of Bragg Liquid Aminos and a squirt of flax seed oil. (There was also a creamy cashew dressing for the sprouts - the kids'll eat the sprouts with a bit of dressing!) Macro munchies to fuel the afternoon!

My favourite guac:
4 avocadoes
2 cloves garlic
1/2 cup frozen/fresh chopped cilantro
juice of 1 lemon
1 t cumin (or more)
1/2 t coarse sea salt

Mix all in food processor. Yum!
