Trying something new

I've been hearing so much about Quinoa lately so I finally got a bag from the bulk store and set out to find a recipe to use it in. I didn't look far because my dad came home that day with the latest Chatelaine mag for my mom with a recipe for Quinoa Veggie Burgers! I had a chance to try them out last night. What a hit!

I would suggest adding another egg. I found them quite crumbly. I was scared about flavour, but they were so full of it on their own with all the great veggies! The quinoa has a great natural flavor as well. On these open faced beauties I put a mixture of tahini and plain yogurt for some creamy texture and some alfalfa sprouts for some crunch.

Did I mention I did this all on the hottest day of the summer so far (46 degrees celcius!). My kitchen was HOT. I had to take a shower after doing the dishes.

Today isn't so bad, but I still have to have a fan sitting next to me at my desk. The weather called for a nice breezy outfit.



This skirt is actually a few sizes too big so I always pair it with a belt that adds to the poof effect without me having to mend it (what kind of a seamstress' daughter am I?).

Happy friday everyone!
