Recipe Box. Vol 2. Quinoa and Kale Crustless Quiche

This is a tasty and easy recipe that you can make for lunch or dinner!

Here is what you need:

Makes about 8 slices

1/2cup Quinoa
1cup water
2tablespoons Olive Oil
1 bunch Kale, stems removed and cut into ribbons
1 Vidalia Onion, thinly sliced
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1/2cup white cheddar cheese
3ounces cream cheese, cubed
4 eggs
 salt and pepper to taste
1. Preheat the oven to 350 and prepare a 9" pie dish (either butter the dish thoroughly or spray with baking spray). Rinse the quinoa. Combine the quinoa and water in a pan. Bring to a boil on medium-high heat and then reduce to a simmer. This will take about twenty minutes. Set aside.
2. Meanwhile, start to caramelize the onions. Heat the olive oil in a large saute on medium heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the onions. Slowly cook until the onions are soft and browned.
3. Remove the onions from the pan, and place them in a large mixing bowl. Add the kale into the hot onion pan. On medium heat, cook until the kale is wilted and bright green, about two minutes.
4. Allow the greens to cool. Squeeze out any extra liquid using a sieve or a clean dish towel.
5. Add the kale, quinoa, garlic, cream cheese and cheddar to the mixing bowl. Stir the ingredients so that they are evenly distributed.
6. In a small bowl, whisk the eggs so that they are well combined. Pour over the quinoa/kale mixture. Stir until the egg clings to the greens. Add salt and pepper.
7. Pour the mixture in the prepared pie dish. Bake for about 45 minutes, until the top is golden and the pie has started to pull away from the edge of the baking dish. This dish is delightful hot, but even better at room temperature.

Hope you enjoy! Let me know if you make it!


Stay Tuned for another vlog tomorrow!

Healthy Living. Vol 1

I am all about health, and I think eating healthy is AMAZING for our bodies! Here is a little overview on how I think I did eating healthy this month.

I started off the New Year by eating WAY to much unhealthy junk, but I think I made up for it :)

Good Health:

- I ran a couple times a week (1 to 2 miles every time)

- I limited myself to only eating a little sweets on the weekend (usually stuff sweetened with xylitol)

- I stayed off of most gluten (I did once or twice have to eat gluten because that was all there was)

- I ate a salad a day (most days, I think a couple times I didnt)

- I started most of my mornings with a healthy smoothie

- when I wanted a snack, I grabbed a fruit or vegetable


Overall I think I did pretty good :) Now for some of the unhealthy choices I made....

Bad Health:

- went out and ate doughnuts with friends (once)

- ate sweets at the quilt guild meeting last week (what, these southern ladies know how to cook!)

- Ordered a sandwich instead of a salad when I went out for lunch yesterday

- snuck into the chocolate stash once or twice when I was feeling a bit down a couple days ago

Ok I wasn't terrible, but I could of been a little bit more diligent :)

Eating Healthy definitely makes me feel WAY better, and I enjoy it for the most part :)

What are some of the healthy choices you have made this past month?

Guest Post - Jennifer from Grits and Moxie

Hello all!  My name is Jennifer and I'm the lady behind the quirky lifestyle blog Grits And Moxie.  I was so happy when Beatrice asked me to stop by and guest post, and I knew just what I would write about...the wonders of baking soda!  Not only is baking soda inexpensive but it also helps whiten teeth and clothes, helps cookies and cake to rise, makes your skin glow and even helps keep your lovely locks o' hair squeaky clean.  Yep, even my thick, coarse hair benefits from baking soda!

In January I decided to start pampering my skin and hair to the best of my abilities.  My best = finding only simple and natural products.  Baking soda, of course, was at the top of my list but I still had a few questions about how it would best fit into my hair care routine.  After some research I found what I consider the best baking soda hair treatment around!

Grab a mason jar or other airtight container (use plastic if you plan to keep your hair treatment in the bath/shower...broken glass + naked you = not good situation) combine 1/3 baking soda with 2/3 warm water and then add generous dollop or two of honey.  Stir and shake until all ingredients are well mixed.  Wet hair in the shower and then add several small scoops of the baking soda mix directly to the scalp.  Message gently towards the middle-to-ends of hair.  Leave on for 2-3 minutes and then rinse well with warm water.  At the last moment be sure to spray cold water on hair to 'seal' the hair strands or you could do a quick vinegar rinse (1/2 vinegar to 1/2 cold water).  Both will make hair nice and shiny!

There are no bubble with this treatment so it may feel weird at first but it won't seem unnatural after a few times.  I've gotten used to a squeaky clean head of hair without the all fake chemicals weighing it down!

You can use this treatment in place of your shampoo (every 2-4 days) or you can use it occasionally to strip the chemicals from your hair and help restore natural balance/oils to the scalp.  I suggest starting out doing it 1-2 times a month and then slowly increasing to a few times a week...but be sure to do what you think works best for your hair!

Thanks to Beatrice for letting me stop by and share my idea with you all!  Stop by m'blog Grits And Moxie to learn more about my crafty ideas, vegan cooking, fun adventures, critter antics and life in Athens, GA...

Guest Post - Grace from Grace Loves The Beatles

Hey lovely people! I'm Grace & I blog at Grace Loves the Beatles. I have been playing around with Lightroom a lot lately so when Beatrice asked me to guest post on her blog I knew that I wanted to do something about Lightroom! I decided to do my favorite Lightroom presets. I absolutely adore presets. They speed up the whole process so quickly, especially with weddings. And to this day, I have never paid anything for a LR preset. I get them all from Presets Heaven, which is my favorite free place.

Here is a recent SOOC from a wedding I shot last week. (You can see the rest of my shots here!)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

♥ Who is Wolf set ♥

♥ Vintage set ♥

♥ PH 003 ♥

♥ S-Curve set ♥

I hope you found this helpful! The last one is definitely my go to black and white, and one of my favorites, if not my favorite preset ever. It's pretty much the only Black and White I use (although I do love the ones in the Who is wolf set.)

So there you have it! If you're a fellow Lightroom-er, let me know what your favorite presets are. :) And make sure to check out my blog if you want to hear more of my random words/pictures.

XOXO

Real Life - Being Real

sometimes Ok most of the time... I wish life was like a fairytale, but sadly it really isn't!

I think this is the biggest thing I struggle with! and I HATE it.. guess I will have to work on it!

I have been struggling a TON this week... most nights I just go to bed and cry for a while.. then I wake up refreshed but by mid morning I am back in my funk mood!
I catch myself all the time during the day fight my gloomy thoughts... I just need to remember ONE thing!

Life does get easier... as soon as I can remember to rely on one thing... God!

Without him I am nothing (I have never talked strongly about my religion, but I am a Christian)..

One of my best friend's mom has been fighting with cancer for 5 years.. and has been going down hill very quickly.. I have been really struggling with it!

Also my family is going to have to move our horses from the farm they are on right now, and we really dont know where we are going to move them! It has totally been stressing me out!

I just have to BREATHE!!
This has all been kinda all jumbled but I just had to get my thoughts out!

What do you do when you are stressed??

Recipe Box: Gluten Free Carrot Cake

How to make Carrot Cake!!

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 45 minutes

Total Time: 1 hour

Ingredients:

•2 cups sugar  ( I use xylitol)
•4 eggs
•1 1/2 cups light olive oil OR your favorite vegetable oil
•2 cups all-purpose gluten-free flour mix (see notes)
•2 teaspoons baking soda
•2 teaspoons gluten-free baking powder
•2 teaspoons cinnamon
•1 teaspoon salt
•2 teaspoons vanilla extract
•1 cup chopped nuts
•3 cups freshly grated carrots
•4 tablespoons unsalted butter
•3 ounces cream cheese
•1 teaspoon vanilla extract
•2 1/2 cups gluten-free powdered sugar (See note)

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350° F / 176° C
 Use two round 9-inch cake pans, one 9x13 pan or 36 muffin cups for this recipe. If using round cake pans, lightly grease and place a circle of parchment in the bottom of the pan for easy removal. Use paper lining cups if making cupcakes.

1.Cream sugar and eggs in a large mixing bowl with an electric beater or stand mixer. Add oil and vanilla and beat just until smooth.

2.In a separate bowl combine gluten-free flour mix, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Whisk to combine. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and beat until blended.

3. Stir in grated carrots and nuts. Pour the batter into prepared pans.

4. Bake in preheated oven for 45-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean. For muffins, reduce baking time to 30-35 minutes or until they pass the toothpick test. Cool on a wire rack.

5.While cake or muffins are cooling place butter, cream cheese and vanilla in a large mixing bowl and beat on high until smooth. Add powdered sugar and beat until smooth and creamy.

6.When cake is cool frost.

 Notes:

•Most powdered sugar products are made with granular sugar processed with cornstarch or tapioca starch. However, when buying powdered sugar, read labels carefully to be sure that the product you are considering is not made with wheat starch. Manufacturers can change product formulations without notice.
 • I used Bob's Red Mill Gluten-Free Pizza Crust Mix in this recipe with good results. It contains xanthan gum, eliminating the need to add more gum to this recipe. Use your favorite gluten-free flour mix in this recipe and add 1 teaspoon xanthan or guar gum to the recipe IF the mix you are using does not contain one of these baking gums.

Hope you enjoy this recipe!! I made it and it was a BIG hit :)

Beatrice

p.s I was going to have a vlog posted today but since I couldn't get it to upload hopefully I will have it tomorrow or the next day! sorry :)

Favorite Book! Vol. 1

I just decided to start doing a book review on ONE book I have read in the past two weeks every other week!


via google

The Dirty Life by Kristin Kimball - One of my favorite by far!!

This book is a story about Kristin and her Husband and how they start an AMAZING farm.. and all the fun stories that come with farming!

There is a love story, hard times, and good times. It is very well written and kept me wanting to find out what happened next.

Since I own animals and we garden and live partially self sufficient I can relate to some of the things that happen in this book.. But I think anyone who wants a good read would find much enjoyment reading this book!

Hope you all are having a great week! I am have an OK week, right now I have been struggling a little because one of my best friend's mom is battling with cancer and for right now it looks like she might lose.. I have always had a soft heart and I have been having to fight back tears during this whole week!

Let me know if you read or have read this book!!

Stay Tuned for tomorrow when I post a Vlog!

Beatrice

New Years Eve... 2013.. What I did..

OK I had THE BEST New Years Eve ever!!

Seriously.. I did.

This year I spent the night over at my friends house. The Night started off with a tasty dinner... Then a brownie while we watched Decoy Bride.

When there where 10 minutes before midnight we did our hair in Top Knots and Danced...

At 12:00AM we went running around the house Yelling "Happy New Year" and blew some party/noise makers...

Then we Ran outside and screamed at the top of our lungs and Hugged each other... oh and I locked us out of her house.. so we knocked on her parents window and asked them to let us in :) (way to start off the new year)

After we skyped our friend in Washington for 2 hours and had a grand time!

It is now 2:45am and you would think we would go to bed... but NO.. we just keep having fun!

We made Ice Cream with strawberries, nuts, chocolate sauce, brownie, and cherries... and we watched...

My Best Friend's Wedding!!

Finally at 4:45am.. we crashed in bed and talked till 5am and fell asleep!!

Oh.. and got up at 10:30am and ate a tasty breakfast :)

So... that was my New Year's Eve.... For the rest of the day i drank many cups of coffee...

It was definitely crazy.. we had lots of fun... it was a once in a life time thing!!

Note: I don't have any pictures yet because I left my camera at her house.. as soon as I get it I will post pictures :)

How did You spend New Years Eve??
