Quinoa, Cherry, Cashew Recipe
1 C. quinoa
3/4 C. fresh squeezed orange juice
1 1/2 cups of Water
2 Tsp of chopped Orange zest
1/4 cup of chopped fresh mint
1/4 cup of raw organic cashews (cut in pieces)*
1/4 cup of unsweetened dried cherries (cut in pieces, they will plump up at the end, for the locals, you can find these at Sunflower Market in the refrigerated section)
In a pot bring quinoa, fresh orange juice, and water to a boil. Reduce heat, simmer, and cover for 15-20 minutes. Stir and fluff occasionally. Half way through add lightly chopped unsweetened dried cherries and stir well then cover again. The cherries will plump out nicely. The quinoa is finished when the liquid is all absorbed. Add cashews* while quinoa is still hot and stir well.
Once quinoa cools add the fresh mint and orange zest. Stir very well. Place in refrigerator or start eating right away!
* Cashews can be lightly toasted. Just place on tin foil in the toaster oven. Spray with Olive Oil and toast lightly.
* I have made this without the mint as well

Roasted Garbanzo's
Preheat oven to 425
Open and rinse one can of garbanzos
Pat dry
Toss in olive oil
Grease bottom of pan with olive oil
Bake for 30 minutes
Add salt and enjoy. ( I spray with a little olive oil spray so the salt sticks)
I love salt, I eat these instead of chips. They turn out pretty crunchy and when you add lots of salt they satisfy my chip craving. I like them best fresh out of the oven.
You can play around with the recipe for different flavors. You can soak in Tamari for 30 minutes before baking for a soy salt taste. Or you can add garlic salt, or any of your favorote herbs or spices.
Enjoy!!

Before you eat cereal tomorrow read this article "Dirty Secrets of the Food Processing Industry." By Sally Fallon
Although this list goes on and on, the specific section which talks about breakfast cereal made me rethink what I feed my kids for breakfast!
