Full din din: Chicken and Quinoa
We have a pot luck day at work tomorrow. I made a big pot of my black bean dip to bring in with some chips. I also decided to make up some breakfast pot luck- Coconut Almond Muffins:
Ingredients:
1 cup all purpose flour
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
3 tsp baking powder
1 cup coconut
1 cup milk
1/4 cup butter or substitute (I used smart balance)
1 egg or equivalent egg substitute
sliced almonds to top muffins
Directions:
Mix all ingredients except almonds. Fill muffin trays 2/3 full (makes 12 muffins). Top with sliced almonds. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes (or until a toothpick comes out clean.
They are pretty simple muffins but I enjoy the flavor. Josh and I split one for dessert. Frank and I are ready for bed...hopefully we can convince Josh to join us :)

I have been thinking about trying quinoa for a dinner option but haven't gotten around to it. I am glad to here you enjoyed it - that might just inspire me to make it tonight!

Coconut almond muffins? How perfect of a combo is that?! How about adding some almond extract?
That last picture is the best. Aww!!
The meal looks great. I haven't gotten around to trying quinoa yet either. I will have to soon.
Frank is so awesome! :)
The muffins look tasty! Thanks for the recipe!
Your dog is adorable!
Your muffins sound great! Coconut and almonds, what a delicious combo- just like in granola! Ho ho, I'm sensing a pattern here....

I like quinoa, though I don't find its flavor very different from other grains, so I could take it or leave it with couscous or something else like that. I'm not sure if Ray has had it before. Strangely my mom doesn't like it, I'm not sure why.
Yum muffins! I bet everyone loved them!
That quinoa looks good! I recently tried pine nuts, too and really like them.
Thanks for the info about the comments, too! I'm pretty sure I fixed it. Ha, I was starting to think no one liked me or something;)
