I really needed to post something light and healthy because I'm still feeling the effects of my fried food experience at our local fair. I tried to eat my way through the superabundance of crunchy grease, but had to throw in the towel.
I went with Quinn, who's five and a pure eating machine. We found a table and I started to explain what I had bought for lunch. Fried chicken- check, fried frogs legs- check and deep fried Oreo's. This is where he looked at me like I was from another planet. The kid who casually chews on frogs legs was completely bamboozled by the fried Oreo's! It could have been worse, I almost added the Krispy Kreme double cheeseburger and chocolate dipped pickle to our list. Save me!
Let's flip the culinary spectrum 180 degrees and make quinoa.
And add green peppers, corn and fresh cilantro.
And beans.
And grilled chicken with chunks of juicy peaches and toss it all together in a Dijon mustard tarragon dressing and sell that at the fair.
Just kidding (about the selling part) though I wonder if anyone would buy it, deep-fried quinoa balls?
A fresh and healthy quinoa salad with grilled chicken and dressed in a Dijon mustard dressing.
