Kristen, yes weird weather. But they’re saying it’ll be an unusually warm summer here, so we’re enjoying the below average temperatures.

Hi June, We’ve tried a few recipes with quinoa for breakfast, but this was really satisfying, and the first one we thought worthy of passing along. So by all means, share yours if you come across it again.

Dr. La Puma, Sure – just point out that we only had whole pecans and were too lazy to chop them…
It’s scary how little education future physicians receive on nutrition. We wrote a post questioning the nutritional knowledge of physicians. It seems intuitive that this topic be part of an annual physical, and yet, it isn’t.
I tend to look for medical information written by someone with a degree in medicine, so it was exciting to see a book focused on nutritional eating written by a physician!

Hi Kara, It’s only a few minutes longer than steel-cut oatmeal. But oatmeal can get boring. This recipe was a welcome change. Also, we’re thinking it might be interesting cold, which means it could be prepared earlier and simply grabbed out of the refrigerator the next morning.

Hi Savia, Nope, hadn’t seen it, but it reminds me of a fast food commercial: There’s a woman in a singles bar who puts a bacon burger in her purse to attract men and it works. Jane thinks it’s hysterical. But the best line in the article is: “Tofu is like fugu blowfish sushi: Prepared correctly, it’s delicious; prepared incorrectly, it’s lethal. ”

Hi Dayna, Jane really loved it, and we both recommend it. As I’ve said previously, “Yum.”

This book is more of a way to blend the art of cooking with the science of medicine, plus 50 recipes, an 8 week plan and cooking tips. It’s about how food works in the body, and often has medicine-like effects…plus flavor,texture, color and aroma, like in your quinoa, above.

We send free, healthy easy quick recipes (perhaps one third vegetarian, and one sixth vegan) every week to anyone who wants to join ChefMD, which I think of health-interested food lovers.

Cheers!
