When I opened my fridge yesterday I was pleased. Most of the leftovers were gone and the fridge was almost ready to be re-filled with food. The only leftover in it was a container with cooked red quinoa in it. After discovering a few days earlier, that cooked quinoa can be used in baked goods, […]
T’is the season for baking, or so they say, but really every season is a season for baking. I know, I know it’s a tradition thing, but I don’t need a specific season to bake, or more specifically bake cookies.
