Since coming home from out little family vacation I am feeling motivated again to get back to healthy eating. The constipation that I thought we had gotten under control is back again in full swing so here we go again. We are going to cut out cheese and I am also cutting out milk for a bit to see if that helps. I bought almond milk this week and I really liked it, but I'm not the constipated one, and she won't drink it without chocolate mixed in, just because it had bubbles when I poured it into her cup. That's ok though, she'll get used to some small changes. I tried this quinoa pilaf from my cousins blog and I really liked it! If you like rice pilaf, you would probably like this recipe too. It's really not anything too terribly different. I also tried this quinoa bread recipe and it turned out great too. The only problem with it is that it's incredibly crumbly and a little hard to make peanut butter and honey sandwiches with. I think I will make it again occasionally, but not as my normal bread. Just because of the crumbliness though and it also takes longer than my normal bread making routine. The taste is delicious and I like that it has oatmeal and quinoa in it. So I still have a bit of quinoa left and I will probably try a breakfast cereal recipe with it and let you know how that goes. Oh, and another new recipe I tried was this cheese less mac and cheese and I'm sorry, but she must have an awful memory! The stuff was awful! I'm not meaning to be rude, but it's not a recipe I recommend. Luckily I was pretty sure my family wouldn't care for it so I made that as a side dish to our waffles last night. None of us liked it and it is not a recipe I will ever try again. I am finding that trying to pretend something is cheese when it really isn't is proving to be almost more disappointing than I can bear. So instead of trying all these cheese substitutes we will just try real recipes that don't include cheese for awhile. We will all miss it dearly but after the issue is under control again I think we might be able to add it in once or twice a week again.
So I am now off to make my shopping list and get some healthy food. Wish me luck!

That's cool that you have tried some things with quinoa. I may have to try those recipes too. It's good to hear of your experiments and your ideas and your progress. Good luck with the getting back on track.
That's great that you like the bread, I didn't think of adding cooked quinoa to bread dough, that is very interesting. Thanks for sharing!
