I’m not really too sure how to post from my celly. I’ve only had my iPhone for a few weeks so it’s a miracle I even had the foresight to get the WordPress app prior to leaving the country. Anyway. We will be back in the EEUU in a few days but until then here’s my best attempt at mobile blogging. Our apartment’s view in Buenos Aires… The one semi-post worthy photo from Punta del Este, Uruguay… Ciao!
I haven’t bought quinoa yet because it’s SO expensive at New Seasons and Trader Joes – where do you get yours? I get it at Costco or Whole Foods. It’s pretty inexpensive in the bulk bins aisle.

Unlike last time, I made a slight alteration by adding silken tofu. It wasn’t because I thought the salad needed more protein, it was because I had half a box of ‘fu that I didn’t want to waste.

This is not a recipe. It’s completely measurement-free. Here’s the assembly in photo format… GF cocoa rice crisp cereal *It’s not certified gluten free, but the ingredients are GF, so the only source of gluten would be from contamination in it’s processing/production. Basically, I’m guessing Whole Foods didn’t want to pay more to get certified or use a separate factory/co-packer. GF peanut flour + USV almond milk And bananas. Mashed. Mixed. Microwaved. Munched. 🙂 These are the kinds of things I create for myself when my GI system is being lame and I need fodmaps… Read more >
