On the run
Today is a busy day with lots of things to accomplish. With 2 kids I need to always carry gluten free snacks for in-between meals. Today's snack bag consists of the following:
Snack time bag:
Individually wrapped string cheese
Bananas
"yummy yummy snack mix" a mix of cashews, slivered almonds, raisins, Enjoy Life brand mini chocolate chips and dried bananas. I make this with my kids everyweek. We will change out ingredients to fit our moods.
Individual box of Horizon Organic 2% milk and individual box of Almond milk (Ginger, my baby, doesn't like milk)
Ok now that we have our snacks we are ready to tackle the next few hours!

Tonight we had our weekly favorite, also my "I am in a hurry, I need a quick meal". My family loves quinoa and we always have a supply on had. We love the jumbo bag of Organic Quinoa from Costco. If we are looking for something even more special we will get the red or black quinoa from Ancient Harvest (www.quinoa.net). This recipe is so easy and it can be adjusted to meet your needs and well as accommodate the items you have on hand. Remember a recipe is a guide, you can adjust the ingredients as you'd like! Enjoy!
