Eating Adventures

In our quest to eat better we have tried several new foods. Today we had Quinoa, pronounced "keenwa". It is an ancient grain that has more protein than any other grain. I made the Quinoa Pilaf from the back of the box. I think what I made looks better than the picture on the box. It was pretty yummy.

Note the fun apron I am wearing!

For dessert we made chocolate cake with cherry pie filling in it. We altered the recipe by using only egg whites and subbing applesauce for the oil. I had never realized how much fat in in cake. The fat content in a cooked cake is not listed on the package; only the percent of fat. I guess Betty Crocker doesn't want us to think about the fat. It was also yummy.
