O Christmas Tree!
This was the first tree we picked - and I wasn't allowed to walk around to 'see' if there was a better one...

Quinoa Pilaf
Quinoa Pilaf 2 Tablespoons olive oil 1/2 onion, chopped or 1 shallot, finely chopped 2 cups quinoa 4 cups chicken broth 1 teaspoon parsley flakes In large fry pan with a lid, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and quinoa. Saute until the quinoa starts to brown and the onion becomes clear. Add chicken broth and parsley flakes and bring to a slight boil. Cover and reduce heat. Cook for 12 minutes, covered, until liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork, recover and allow to steam for another 10 – 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, and serve. This recipe is from Goodcheapeats.com a great resource for once a month freezer cooking and menu planning Mondays. Also, I added chopped carrots to the recipe when sauteeing the onion and quinoa just to add a little color to the dish and to get some veggies in. Recipe from: www.goodcheapeats.com
That's a pretty tree. I want to decorate too, but am too intimidated by the world's most perfectly annoying neighbor's awesome decorations. Why is the picture so dark?
ReplyDeletei took it with my camera phone so it was kinda dark
ReplyDeleteI'm jealous. We are now using our artificial-already-lit tree and I miss the smell of Christmas. We are supposed to try to decorate Friday or over the weekend. I don't know why I'm not pushing it so much this year. Logan is the driving force behind it. I finally put out our wreath and the candles in the windows. May not put out the "village" this year.
ReplyDeleteoh man - you should put out the village - it looks so pretty!!
