Refreshing Quinoa Corn Salad

• 1 1/2 cups quinoa
• 1/2 cup pine nuts
• 1 English cucumber, peeled and finely diced (21/2 cups)
• 3 Roma tomatoes, seeded and finely diced (3/4 cup)
• 1/2 small red onion, finely chopped (1/2 cup)
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 3 Tbs. lemon juice
• 2 tsp. grated lemon zest

DIRECTIONS

1. Bring 2 quarts salted water to a boil. Add quinoa, cover, and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer 12 to 14 minutes, or 
until quinoa is tender and small “tails” bloom from grains.

2. Preheat oven to 400°F. Spread pine nuts on baking sheet, and toast 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned. Cool, then transfer to large serving bowl.

3. Drain quinoa, and rinse under cold running water. Drain again. Add quinoa to pine nuts, and 
stir in cucumber, tomatoes, onion, and parsley. Fold in oil, lemon juice, and lemon zest, and season with salt and pepper, if desired.

Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins

Ingredients:

• 1 3/4 cups spelt flour
• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp sea salt
• 1 1/2 cups mashed ripe bananas
• 2/3 cups maple syrup (grade b has more minerals)
• 1/3 cup softened coconut oil
• 2/3 cups non-dairy chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup walnuts (we don’t use any nuts since they don’t digest easy when they are combined with grains)

Preheat oven to 375*F (190*C) Prepare 12- cup muffin tray with paper or light coating of coconut oil.

Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl. Add the mashed banana and syrup, and oil. Stir just until all flour is absorbed. Fold in the chocolate chips (and nuts).

Portion the batter into muffin cups and bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Makes 12 muffins.

Enjoy! These muffins are so chewy and moist and delicious!

*This recipe works great for toddlers, too!  Sub the chocolate chips for dried cranberries and leave out the nuts!
