Uses for Mushy Quinoa: Add Cheese!

Published Friday, February 4, 2011 By Mekkie. Under Recipes, Weight Watchers Core-Friendly  Tags: dinners, food, healthy, quick, quinoa, Side Dishes, vegetarian  
I skipped my meeting today. I doubt anyone will notice though, no one ever does. I didn't see the point of going if my grad student wasn't. From what I could gauge based off of his his cursing, DTE (and an exorbitant bill) were involved. The cursing was to be ...

It's late, you're hungry, you want Chinese, but that's just so bad for you. You open the fridge, tap your fingers on the top, searching for something sweet but salty, chewy but with a crunch, meaty but light at the same time. It may seem like a lot for one ...

Oh blueberry! My sweet, sweet blueberry. You're not truly blue and you do explode when exposed to radiation, but you will always be my favorite. Don't tell the other berries (the black ones and the red ones) for they may become jealous, but you were the favorite all along. I ...

In a vain effort to increase my readership, I went a-googling for "tips on getting more blog followers". Now, I consider myself quite a good "googler" and am my family's (non-resident) google-queen. My obsession with search-engine driven answers has reached to such an extent that I am known to google ...

Low-Calorie Pizza Crust

Published Tuesday, January 4, 2011 By Mekkie. Under Recipes, Weight Watchers Core-Friendly  Tags: dinners, food, healthy, pizza, quinoa, vegetarian  
No long self-reflective rambling today. Just a recipe. For pizza... Really yummy pizza. So here's a recipe inspired by this blogger, who I followed closely during my low-carb stint. (Low-carb as a vegetarian? What was I thinking?!) There was also that huge pot of quinoa left in the fridge.... This one's rich in ...

Indian-Spiced Quinoa Edamame Cutlets (and some ramblings on life)

Published Wednesday, December 29, 2010 By Mekkie. Under Recipes, Weight Watchers Core-Friendly  Tags: beans, dinners, food, healthy, Indian, quinoa, Side Dishes, vegetarian  
I went and saw my advisor today. I think I was hoping for him to give me the answers--tell me what to do with the rest of my life. The bureaucratic nightmare that was the posting of my transfer credits is finally over, which means I did indeed graduate this ...

Quinoa-stuffed Red Pepper

Published Sunday, February 21, 2010 By Mekkie. Under Recipes, Weight Watchers Core-Friendly  Tags: dinners, food, healthy, quick, quinoa, vegetarian  
I just realized that, ever since I started abiding by the "two posts a week rule" the online newspaper this blog is part of has, my posts have become...well...post-less. I don't know. I mean, I know that the point of having a blog is to post in it. And the point ...

Quinoa Cereal (with cooked quinoa)

Published Saturday, September 12, 2009 By Mekkie. Under Recipes  Tags: breakfast, food, fruit, healthy, quick, quinoa, vegetarian  
As unfortunate as it sounds, I don't really have any clever banter today. I do, but it's fairly depressing and self-pitying so I thought I'd spare anyone who happens upon this blog. I did come up with this recipe a while back, though. I was waiting to post it until I ...

Zen #6: Quality, Not Quantity (and a delicious summer salad)

Published Sunday, September 6, 2009 By Mekkie. Under Finding the Zen, Recipes  Tags: Baking, beans, food, healthy, quick, quinoa, vegan, vegetarian  
I've been craving carbs. Insanely. I think it's the long weekend--4 straight days of nothing to do but ponder how no one even cares to call me. I actually attempted to have a real conversation with a telemarketer yesterday. So, do you think your job is pathetic? Oh, no, not ...

Nutty Quinoa Cake

Published Sunday, July 12, 2009 By Mekkie. Under Recipes, Weight Watchers Core-Friendly  Tags: breakfast, Dessert, food, healthy, quinoa, vegetarian  
No, there's no actual nuts in this. I have found, though, that if you rinse the quinoa like you're supposed to and toast it like some people suggest, it really does taste like something that's half way between almonds and hazelnuts. Sorry I haven't been posting all that much. I've been ...
