Products from I can not live without – Quinoa

So this is one of them. Organic Nature’s Earthly Choice Premium whole grain Quinoa. Gluten Free! Wheat Free! I buy this 4lbs. bag at COSTCO for under $10.00 and this is an amazing deal.

There are tons of recipes online and of course on the Nature’s Earthly Choice website,  but this one blog in particular An Unrefined Vegan, had few great easy ways to prepare quinoa.

I personally just cook it as I would rice and use it same the way. Quinoa just became a rice substitute for us, providing for a more balanced diet.  Kids like it too and my favorite way to have it, is to serve a nice Greek Salad on a bed of quinoa - delicious!

Be Well,

A beautiful song!

by Sutra Rhythms – Visions of Zen

Rumi

The way of love is not
A subtle argument.

The door there
Is devastation.

Birds make great sky-circles
Of their freedom. How do they learn that?

They fall, and falling,
They’re given wings.

—Rumi

 

working on it!

“If you are falling….dive.”
― Joseph Campbell

the ancient law

From the Buddha’s Dhammapada
(freely translated by Stephen Mitchell)

Mind creates the world;
what you see arises with your thoughts.
If you speak and act with a confused mind,
trouble will follow you as certainly
as a cart follows the ox that pulls it.

Mind creates the world;
what you see arises with your thoughts.
If you speak and act with a clear mind,
happiness will follow you as certainly
as your own shadow in sunlight.

“It’s his fault.” “She shouldn’t have done that.”
Believe such thoughts, and you live in resentment.

“It’s his fault.” “She shouldn’t have done that.”
Question such thoughts, and you live in freedom.

Anger teaches anger.
Fear results in more fear.
Only understanding can lead to peace.
This is the ancient law.

Sadhguru’s quote

We are using people and loving things. This is a complete misunderstanding of life. Things were made to be used; people were made to be loved
