Finding Quinoa (keen- wa)

About two months ago I was introduced to Quinoa...
So what is soo great about that???
Everything!
I love pasta and all that is carb-a-liscious...but sadly I have developed a sensitivity to gluten!
I tried rice pasta but it was kind of slimy and didn't taste so hot.

Which left me searching for more than potatoes could offer alone.
Then I met Quinoa:-)
A Gluten Free "Ancient South American Grain"
A "Super Food" high in protein and fiber!!!
It comes in both grain form as well as a delicious pasta...what more could a food sensitive carbohydrate seeker want in life!!

I love Quinoa!!!

Life has been a whirlwind of activity, work, travel, family events and motion. While I embrace life in forward motion it is a special jewel when a moment of calm presents itself. So many people are caught in a whirlwind of, "life in motion" these days... As I talk with friends and family members my prayer list grows ever longer and my spirit can struggle to "focus on the positive"... In my heart I truly believe that focusing on the positive and working through the challenges is the best way to navigate this life. I have so very much that I am grateful for... so many blessings... God will help manage the rest:-)
