I. LOVE. QUINOA.

Today I threw together a bunch of slop, and it was delicious.

I cooked 1 cup of quinoa in 2 cups of water using my rice cooker. In the meantime, I heated together a can of black beans and a can of collard greens on the stove. I added them together with the quinoa and proceeded to eat 3 bowls of it. Oh yeah, and I added a generous amount of cholula. I don't think I'll ever eat rice and beans. From now on, it's quinoa and beans.

No picture because it looked disgusting.

Pancakes

Pancakes for one are always depressing
because having breakfast with you was such fun
Pancakes for one are no fun

Anytime I eat pancakes, I think of that song (Pancakes for One by Of Montreal). Sometimes I just want something sweet and easy for dinner, so usually it's pancakes.

The recipe is so easy and takes no skill whatsoever.

2 cups bisquick
1 cup soy milk (or whatever kind of milk you prefer)
(I also add flax, but it's not necessary)

Mix together, heat on pan like you do for any pancakes.

Bisquick is totally vegan, incase you didn't know. The directions on the box say to add an egg, but I think that is only there so people feel like they are doing a lot more work than is really required. Or maybe because people might not believe that they could make pancakes without eggs? I have no idea.

In the background, I have a smoothie/shake made from frozen bananas, soy milk and chocolate syrup. And behind that is our very messy kitchen table. I swear, it's not my mess!
