Quinoa Recipe

Linda’s comments:  I love Quinoa….great with all meats….

Quinoa

2 cups quinoa, soaked in filtered water overnight
1 bunch of organic green onions, chopped
2 Tbsp. olive oil
½ tsp. sea salt
3 cloves of organic garlic, mashed
3-4 cups organic beef,organic chicken, or organic turkey stock

Rinse and drain quinoa very well. In a large skillet, saute the onions in the oil for a few minutes, then add the garlic and sauté for another minute. Add the quinoa and the stock (the stock should just cover all of the quinoa) salt, and bring to a boil. Then, reduce the heat and cover and let simmer for 25-30 minutes on very low heat.

For Real Coffee filters…

Linda’s comments:  This is one of the “best” lists I have seen around.  Who would have thought? True about the 99 cent or dollar stores….I printed this out and put it in my “house information” book….I finally learned to put good things like this in a notebook.  I will put it in the Linda’s Tips area.  Enjoy!!

 

Excerpt:

1. Cover bowls or dishes when cooking in the microwave. Coffee filters
make excellent covers.

2. Clean windows, mirrors, and chrome. Coffee filters are lint-free, so
they will leave windows sparkling.

3. Protect china by separating your good dishes with a coffee filter
between each dish.

4. Filter broken cork from wine. If you break the cork when opening a
wine bottle, filter the wine through a coffee filter.

5. Protect a cast-iron skillet. Place a coffee filter in the skillet to
absorb moisture and prevent rust.
