The weekend is over and it was busy but great. Now it’s back to the usual. Teaching classes, cooking, library, shopping, playing, the usual.

I love that quinoa is so versatile and can go with anything. From Asian to Mexican, Greek to Italian and everything in between – quinoa is the perfect base to a meal.

Today was another busy day!  We had a staff meeting after school and then we went to see He’s Just Not That Into You with two of my girlfriends!  I highly recommend it!  I want to see it again.
