Quinoa, a grain, has a lot of protein in it. It is so easy to prepare and add whatever raw vegetables you like to it. This is one of my favorite ways to make it.

 

  • 1 Cup Quinoa cooked per package directions 
  • 1/2 Cup Bite sized pieces of Broccoli Florets (just break them off or cut them off)
  • 1/2 Cup Bite sized pieces of Red and Yellow Bell Peppers
  • 1 Tablespoon Fresh chopped Basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon of Lemon Zest
  • Juice of 1 Lemon
  • Splash of Red Wine Vinegar
  • Splash of Olive Oil
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

 

Mix and eat warm right away. Or chill. Works well for picnics.

Classic Sangria with a kick

Sangria with BrandyThis recipe can be adjusted so easily to suit your tastes. It makes me really happy that whenever I make it, people rave. My friend Mary Ann told me it’s the best Sangria she’s ever had. It is a great drink to serve at a Paella dinner instead of multiple bottles of wine which can be expensive. The secret is both the concentrated orange (or lime)  juice and the additional liquor.

 

  • 1 Bottle Cheap Red Wine
  • 1/4 can Concentrated Orange or Lime Juice (or combo)
  • 1 Cup Cognac
  • 1/2 Cup Triple Sec
  • 2 Sliced Apples, Limes, Oranges
  • 1 Cup of frozen, seedless grapes (a fun touch but optional).

 

Mix to combine in pitcher. When ready to serve pour over ice and top with seltzer water.
