Nutritional Information

[Catherine]

I am not used to eating pecans. I must get some and make them part of my diet.  They are a more southern nut so I have never cooked with them. I am sure I like them. I am used to walnuts because they grow here.

I still haven't done much with quinoa. It seems to be a real staple protein source. I should get the quinoa flour. I like to mix flours when I bake. It gives a better balanced nutrition and things have more interesting flavours.  I think I have a better idea how to use quinoa. It takes time to make a new food part of our regular diet.

I like using herbs. I think Thyme, Tarragon and Dill are my favourites, also Rosemary and Savoury. Thyme makes a fine tea that is very relaxing and mint settles the stomach. So does ginger, so I wonder how ginger and mint would taste together.



This year I plan to plant more herbs. I have Sage and Thyme in my garden, but my Tarragon did not make it. I have Savoury as well.
If it ever warms up I will see what made it through the winter and start planting. I agree that herbs are good for us.
