Breakfast was Quinoa pancakes and bananas. Lunch was gnocchi with Alfredo and blue cheese, cheddar cubes, broccoli and tomatoes. Snack is apple cinnamon muffins laced with more quinoa.
We do vegetarian mainly so quinoa is in LOTS of our stuff for the protein.
We had "Hamburger soup" today for the first time. It was a hit with most of the group. I will be making it again. I served apple slices and cheese on the side.

Cinnamon Raisin Quinoa Porridge
1 cup coconut milk
1/2 cup dry quinoa, rinsed

Hummus on Toast and Apples

Hazelnut Muffins and Cantaloupe
Sure Sunnydays....though there's not much to the pancake recipe. All I did was make my regular pancakes from scratch, then add cooked quinoa, then cook the pancakes.
Favourite Pancakes
1 1/4 cups flour
3 tsp baking powder
1.5 tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 egg
1 cup milk
2 tbsp oil
1 cup cooked quinoa
Combine egg, milk and oil. Add all dry ingredients, mix. I tend to mix the dry ingredients together in a separate bowl before adding to wet ingredients. Add cooked quinoa and stir just enough to mix. Cook in hot, oiled frying pan. I had to use a lid on the pan to trap the heat to facilitate more thorough/quick cooking.
I also add cooked quinoa to my muffin batter....try to hide the stuff wherever I can.
am snack: whole grain toast with all natural P.B, yoghurt, pear, banana slices and blackberries
Lunch: 4 cheese ultra thin crust pizza with cucumber, carrots, celery, avacodo and apple slices
pm snack: apple sauce with orange slices and graham crackers
left over stew here! yum, always better the second day!
AM Snack: Melon, wheat breadsticks & yogurt (to dip in)
Lunch: Broccoli & cheese quiche (one of their favs!), pears
PM Snack: Rice crackers with applesauce (to dip in)
I made a huge beef barley stew last night. We had it for dinner, and it was good. All three daycare kids snubbed it today. :unsure:
Recipe for broccoli and cheese quiche please??:D
I have a recipe for quiche that takes literally 10 mins to make. I'll do several at a time and freeze them. My sister brought the recipe home in a cookbook her class made in grade 3 I think it was.....been using it ever since!
Impossible Quiche
1/2 cup melted butter
1 1/2 cups milk
3 eggs
1/2 cup Bisquick
1 cup shredded cheese
Put everything thing but the cheese and your selected topping in the blender. Blend for 30 seconds or so. Pour into pie plate. Sprinkle with shredded cheese. Push cheese gently below surface with back of spoon. Sprinkle with topping of choice and push gentle below surface with back of spoon. Bake at 350F for 45 mins.
Yup...that simple :)
I also like to switch up the toppings. Some really good combos are:
Thinly sliced asparagus with goat cheese
Mushroom with a smoked cheese of some sort
Tomato, spring onion and feta
Broccoli with cheddar and blue cheese.
When using specialty cheeses, I tend to use much less. With stronger cheeses, a little goes a long way. Also, for cost effectiveness, use mainly cheddar with a sprinkling of specialty cheese.
