Cinnamon Quinoa with Spiced Pumpkin, Spinach and Goat Cheese This recipe is simple and festive. It makes for a great side dish or light yet satisfying meal.

From start to finish, today was one of those “blah” days. I woke up late, worked like crazy and returned to my apartment in a fog. I couldn’t help but think, there has to be more to life than this mundane routine. I want to travel the world, experience new cultures and leave my footprint! [...]
I have this thing. Whenever I see unusual food items I MUST try them. I have yet to try a cuisine that completely repulses me, and will give any food a chance. This curiosity has helped me discover some of my favorite foods. Escargot is a new favorite that I sometimes dream about. Who would [...]
A long, long time ago I made sweet potato and chickpea curry. It was a rather large batch so I froze some for a rainy day. Well, today it rained. Actually, I was freezing and had some spinach that needed to be used…two days ago. This was the perfect warm meal for a chilly night. [...]

It is simple and light. Perfect [...]

That is what I love about the food blog community; the wealth of health and food knowledge and the variety. With [...]
Tonight’s dinner forecast called for pasta with overcast vegetables and periods of goat cheese. I think I would make a great weather girl…just kiiidddiinnnnggg. The weather often impacts the food I crave….probably more than it should. The light wind and mild temperatures today reminded me of the fall, and what says fall like a hearty [...]
