Why hello there, healthy readers!
Sorry for the absence, things are pretty busy for both Ayah and I!
Amongst the madness of work (planning three documentaries), life (planning a wedding/having a life/watching Real Housewives of Vancouver) I have been putting a few important things aside: making recipes from scratch and getting some exercise.
The good thing is I’ve been coming up with some super easy recipes that are still healthy. Every Sunday I do a bit of prep: cook some quinoa, prep John’s sandwiches, cut up veggies, and have big salad mixes at hand.
As you know I love my quinoa, and recently I’ve been using it in a new favourite dessert when my sweet tooth kicks in.
This dessert bowl is so easy and so satisfying. I make a similar bowl for breakfast with the addition of a banana, some chia seeds, and a big pour of almond milk!
Since the recipe is SO easy, I decided to write it out for you in an amateur drawing. Enjoy!

Oh wow, this sounds SO GOOD! I’ve tried similar combos with oats, but I’ve got some leftover quinoa that is begging to be turned into something sweet.
I love quinoa bowls! Let me know how you like this – the combination possibilities are infinite but this is a personal favourite
You are a super talented artist, Gillian!
You are too sweet Anna. I think some 5-year-olds could outdo me on this one, but I had fun drawing it
