recipe suggestions (2-3)

I love pinterest. There. I said it. I have found so many great recipes thanks to people "pinning" things and then re-pinning them and then finally - me remembering that I pinned them - and actually having the ingredients to try them out.

As part of this year (and since we need to do at least 13 posts a month) - I figured I would try and post some recipe suggestions. You know - not just ones that look good - but ones that I have actually tried and that have actually turned out delicious. We're getting adventurous at the Carlklef household - what with all our quinoa eating and stuff.

I made THIS - and literally - it was to die for good. I substituted raisins for black currants, lessened the amount of oil the recipe calls for and of course, made far too much of it. But I loved it. And I felt healthy with every bite. Sure, all that chopping took me forever and Henry was getting impatient watching me with all the knives -but it was worth it. It turned out fantastic.

Another win this week? I made quinoa enchiladas. With a bunch of substitutions - it turned out awesome. I used greek yogurt instead of sour cream, quinoa as a layer instead of tortillas - and voila - enchilada's. Greg and Henry both LOVED it (and so did I - but I don't want to sound like a pig).

Pair both of these recipes with some delicious diet dr. pepper, diet coke, or water - and you've got yourself a meal for champions.
