Quinoa (pronounced keen-wah)

What seed is similar to grain and is closely related to beets and spinach? It comes in various colors and cooks like rice. This gluten-free yet powerful seed has been around since Incan times and has a fluffy, crunchy texture when cooked.

Say 'keen-wah' aloud as you type 'quinoa' in the Google search bar. You'll find that it comes packed with magnesium, protein, 9 essential amino acids, calcium, fiber, phosphorus and iron.

Find quinoa in any grocery store in the rice or gluen-free isle. I purchase mine in bulk from a natural market at $3.99/lb. Just like rice, the ratio to cook is 1:2. For every one part quinoa seed add two parts filtered water. The perfect batch for two people is one cup quinoa to two cups water. For a flavorful kick, substitute organic vegetable broth for water.

First, rinse it well. Then boil the water (or broth), add the rinsed seeds, cover and set the timer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. While its cooling, I toss in freshly chopped basil or cilantro, minced garlic, salt and pepper to taste. It stores and reheats beautifully too!

Tips and Tricks

Dry-Skin Brushing

Your skin. Your lovely, beautiful, radiant skin! One of your most amazing organs, it works with your other elimination organs to get rid of toxins. Dry brushing helps to exfoliate dead skin cells, increase circulation, break down cellulite, assist the lymph system, rejuvenate thyroid function and revitalize the body and mind. Oh, and it's anti-aging too!

You'll need a natural bristle brush and a bottle of essential oil. I started with eucalyptus, known for its anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, decongestant, deodorant, antiseptic, antibacterial, and stimulating properties.

This five minute routine starts in the morning before a shower. Take two drops of essential oil and massage it into your legs, arms and abdomen. Start at your feet and always brush toward your heart using long, even motions. Brush up the legs, over your abdomen, buttocks, and back. For your arms, begin at your fingers and brush up your arms, toward your heart. Brush your shoulders and chest down, toward your heart. Avoid brushing broken skin. Finish by taking a shower!

I have summarized the routine for you, but for more specifics on essential oil recipes, detailed step-by-step directions and benefits please do your research!
