I’ve featured your blog on my Healthy Cooks Club page at Mother Rimmy’s Cooking Light Done Right. You and I have a very similar story, and I was inspired by your Warm White Bean and Kale Salad with Dried Cranberries and Cashews.

I hope you have a good holiday.

I did notice one typo, which I though you might want to know about to correct…

The original text is: “The Little Bean: Our latest addition. He doesn’t eat much more than breast milk at the moment but I’ve started pureering veggies and will be sharing my adventures in feeding a baby and toddler all over again.”

I think you were shooting for “pureeing”, without the second “r”? (wink, smile)

As a 45 year old single dad, who has raised 4 sons and is now helping with the 6 grandchildren, I appreciate coming across your blog and reading the articles as you share them with your readers!

I just found your site and it is wonderful. You have great variety and most seem quick and easy. My daughter has the same issues with the picky eaters at her house.
You sound so much alike. We are both doing weight watchers and are almost at goal. I need to lose another 1.4lbs for a total of 68lbs.

I just found your site!! I think I love you!! haha no I am not a freak, but I love all of your recipes–I was just searching for a good whole wheat thin crust pizza recipe. I also noticed you did weight watchers!! I am doing weight watchers too. I am only looking to lose 10 lbs, but I am learning a lot about what should and shouldn’t go into my mouth! I think your blog will definitely help me do that!! Thanks so much!!

A friend of mine sent this url to me and I thought that you might find it interesting. Maybe you have already seen this, indeed, maybe you may already know how to do this. If not, and if you watch it (it is a brief video), I think that you will enjoy it.

As I think I have mentioned to you before I enjoy fresh fruits. I recently found this url and thought that you would find it interesting. I think that this is about 3 minutes long (the above posted url is about 1 minute long, I think).

This next (and last) url is not a video, just a recipe. Numerous people that commented on the recipe said that they skipped the baby food and went for the fresh fruit (I’m with them). Sometime in the future when this fresh fruit is in season and you feel adventurous you might want to consider playing around with the recipe unless you are completely adverse to plums or pluots.

VN: Why do I get the impression, Roy, that you are a pimp for pluots?

Apricot Bread
Plum Bread
Pluot Bread (pluots come in about 20 different varieties; they are 75% plum and 25% apricot)
Raspberry Bread
Durian Bread (you are a very brave soul if you try this one!; this does come with a warning: be prepared for a divorce if your husband discovers this [if you are not familiar with durian, check it out on wikipedia])
Mango Bread
Blackberry Bread

I just came across your blog and I love it! I saw that you had not had time for a cookbook, but I just had a cookbook made for my mom for mother’s day at http://www.tastebook.com. You should upload your recipes there, it’s simple way to create a cookbook & then I want to order one! lol.

Cheers,
Leah

I came across your food blog and thought you might be interested in appearing on our site, http://www.foodierama.com . Have a look and drop me a line of you are interested.

LOve the site. Just letting you know that you inspired me to make kale chips so I’ll be giving you a shout out on my blog within the next few days (making them tomorrow)! Take care!

I found you on youtube while looking for crock pot recipes.

I have to say you are absolutely cute and delightful.
Your philosophy on life in general is inspiring.

Good luck to you. I think you should be on tv.

Until then, I have your site bookmarked for future reference.

Thanks again for the good ideas and tips. The husband is a lucky guy.

Citrus Quinoa, Mixed Bean, and Blueberry Salad

1/4 cup white quinoa
1/4 cup red quinoa
1/4 cup mixed dry beans
1/4 cup grape tomatoes
1/2 cup blueberries
1/2 tsp yellow curry powder
1/2 tsp chili powder
1 cup chicken broth
juice of 1/2 orange
juice of 1 lime
Water

Re-hydrate beans by soaking beans for 12 hours. Rinse re-hydrated beans, put in sauce pan, add water to 2 inches above beans. Heat to boiling and cook for three minutes. Remove from head to finish cooking (approx. 30 minutes). When finished, drain and set aside.

Rinse quinoa well, put in sauce pan, add 1 cup chicken broth, and heat to a boil. Turn off heat and let sit for 15 minutes to absorb broth.

Cut orange into quarters and lime in half. Microwave 2 orange quarters and both lime halves for 30 to 60 seconds. (Will be able to squeeze out more juice after microwaving.)

Cut grape tomatoes in quarters.

Rinse blueberries.

In sealable container, add quinoa, beans, curry powder, chili powder, tomatoes, and blueberries. Hand squeeze citrus pieces into mixture.

Seal container and gently tumble ingredients to mix curry, chili, and juices throughout.

Chill and serve.

Serves 8.

Note: Could add diced green, red, and yellow sweet pepper for added color and more crunch.
