Rainbow Quinoa Grain Bowl #SundayFunday

By

 

Today the Sunday Funday group is sharing quinoa recipes. Thanks to Stacy of Food Lust People Love, Sue of Palatable Pastime, Rebekah of Making Miracles, and Wendy of A Day in the Life on the Farm for coordinating this low-stress group. This week, Renu is hosting and suggested we share recipes based on quinoa. Here's the list of recipes...

I decided to share a grain bowl recipe that I made as part of a 6-bowl video. These grain bowl salads are the perfect side dish or main dish. And I love that they are so, so simple to assemble! Here are six variations using three different grains - farro, barley, and quinoa. But use whatever grains you have. These would be just as tasty with rice, freekah, or even buckwheat! There are two that use quinoa as a base.

You can watch the process on the CulinaryCam YouTube channel...or right here! Ingredients are listed below for the Rainbow Quinoa Gain bowl. But, as always,  I urge you to just be creative and use what you have.

Rainbow Quinoa Grain Bowl

  • 2 cups cooked quinoa
  • 1 Tablespoon pesto 
  • 1-1/2 to 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 Tablespoon vinegar 
  • 1/2 cup sliced purple cabbage
  • 1/3 cup blanched corn kernels
  • 1/3 cup blanched asparagus
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/3 cup diced apples
  • 2 Tablespoons sliced almonds
  • salt
  • freshly ground pepper



I love how easy these are to customize with whatever ingredients I have on-hand. They are colorful, toothy, and tasty.

That's a wrap on our #SundayFunday quinoa event. We'll be back with recipes to celebrate National Steakhouse Month. Stay tuned. I need to get some clarification on what that means from host Wendy. But I am excited!

Hot Chocolate Agasajo-Style {Spice It Up!}

By
photo by D For my Spice It Up! kiddos this week, I was looking for an exotic drink to serve while we learned about saffron. I found a recipe from food historian Maricel Presilla that mimicked traditional Spanish hot chocolate from the 17th century where it was served at lavish receptions called agasajos . When I teach, I don't always get to shoot photos. Thankfully, D grabbed my camera and snapped a few. Ingredients serves 14-16 1 gallon organic whole milk 3 T dried rosebuds - or 2 t rosewater 2 t saffron threads, lightly crushed 3 T ground cinnamon 3 whole tepin chiles, crushed 2 vanilla beans, split lengthwise 1 C organic granulated sugar 1 lb. bittersweet chocolate Procedure In a large soup pot that can hold a gallon plus, combine milk, dried rosebuds (or rosewater, if you are using that), saffron threads, ground cinnamon, chiles, vanilla beans, and sugar and warm over medium heat till it steams. Whisk to dissolve sugar, then lower heat an...

Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream

By
As we headed inland from the coast, I cringed as the temperature gauge in the car for outside temp climbed into the triple digits. Ugh. I'm a rather wimpy central coastal Californian who begins to wilt when it's 70 degrees outside. Thank goodness for air conditioning and a planned ice cream stop. When I parked the car outside Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream in Santa Rosa, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. We knew that we still had to get to the campsite...and set up our tents in the heat. But we were going to enjoy the cool, sweet treats from Frozen Art first! Michoacana ice creameries are the equivalent of Starbucks in Mexico; they're ubiquitous. Purists, however, claim that operating a true Michoacana ice cream shop require ties to Tocumbo. It's estimated that almost ninety percent of the Tocumban population is currently employed in the ice cream business from making ice cream itself to making equipment. But the real art of Tocumban ice creams: imaginat...
