Simple Quinoa Salad

July 9, 2011 By //  by Whitney Young, ND

We had a great open house this past June and our recipes were a hit! Each of our practitioners brought a dish and we gave out the recipes to those in attendance. Here is Katherine Parent (our nutritionist’s) recipe. Her source is www.tablespoon.com

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups Quinoa
  • 3 cups water
  • 1 large handful fresh cilantro
  • 2 tbsp of olive oil
  • 1 avocado
  • 1 drizzle of honey or agave nectar (optional)
  • 1 1/2 cups grape tomatoes
  • 1 lemon or lime
  1. First, rinse quinoa thoroughly in a small strainer. Bring 3 cups of water to a boil. Put quinoa in water and reduce heat to simmer. Cover and cook until all water is absorbed (10-15 min).
  2. While quinoa is cooking, halve your tomatoes and cut up your avocado and cilantro.
  3. Once the quinoa is cooked, drizzle with olive oilk and agave/honey and sprinkle with salt and pepper
  4. Stir up the quinoa to release some heat and bring to room temperature.
  5. Sir in avocado, tomato and cilantro, squeeze your citrus over this, toss and enjoy!!

Strength People used to tell me I was so strong. Strength 

People used to tell me I was so strong. 

But to me it was just getting up and putting one foot in front of another. 

I did it for my kids. And I also did it for that tiny flicker of hope that was inside. That hope that things would one day be different and I would feel better. 

Lately I’ve been needing that strength again. 

These uncertain times. The unpredictable nature of our everyday lives has been taking a toll on my mental health again. 

Again I need to turn to that tiny flicker of hope. That one day things will be different. 

You are stronger than you think. You are.
Picky Eater Tip Choose a fun way or container to Picky Eater Tip

Choose a fun way or container to serve the food. 

Here we did a tea party for lunch on my grandmothers china. 

When they were younger I would use ice cube trays and put little nibbles of food in each hole. 

What about a picnic on the floor? 

How about eating breakfast for dinner? 

What about a bowl sandwich? All the good stuff without the bread?

Sometimes switching up the environment or what they are eating on can help. 

Save this for later to remind yourself to switch things up. 😊
This is what everyone tells us. In the middle of t This is what everyone tells us. In the middle of the night... those days feel REAL long.
I’m feeling such gratitude right now. I’m so l I’m feeling such gratitude right now. I’m so lucky I love what I do. I’m so fortunate to have amazing women trust me with their fertility, their health, and then their baby’s health. 

During this past year of fear and uncertainty, many people have turned to gratitude practices to cope. 

🙏🏻

Research shows that when we express gratitude, our brains release dopamine and serotonin - happy hormones.

🙏🏻

Other studies have shown that people who have regular gratitude practices are healthier, happier, and have better relationships. 

🙏🏻

Why not add this to your morning or evening routine? Write down 3 different things you are grateful for. And if you want more support for your mental health, I’m here for you. I’ve got many natural tools in my toolbox to help. 

I’m here for you.

I polled my mom tribe (link in bio if you want to I polled my mom tribe (link in bio if you want to join us on Facebook), and asked them what they want more of in 2021.⁠
⁠
These moms want more health, laughter, love, and money. But most of all, they want more joy. ⁠
⁠
This past year saw a rise in more mental health issues. 50% of Canadians reported their mental health worsened. 1 in 10 said it had worsened "a lot" because of Covid-19.⁠
⁠
So, of course you want more joy. ⁠
⁠
How are we going to get it?⁠
⁠
I'd like you to find 10 minutes in your day. 10 little minutes to plug into your joy. Your first day you can write down the things that used to bring you joy or that currently do. The next day you can try one of those things. ⁠
⁠
What little thing can you do tomorrow that will bring you a little joy?⁠
