Be Free For Me Blog

This week’s Friday Favorite on BeFreeForMe is awarded to a must-have pantry staple – Eden Organic Quinoa.

Quinoa is a keeper. It’s as versatile and as easy to make as rice, yet it’s a whole grain that is packed with fiber. Once you give quinoa a try, you’ll keep coming back for more. Check out the quinoa recipes that Eden Foods has on their website… so tasty! Here are just a few:

Quinoa Blueberry Walnut & Garbanzo Salad
Quinoa Fruit Salad with Herb Dressing
Roasted Quinoa Stuffed Onions

Eden Foods also offers over 220+ food items that are Gluten Free – including rice, condiments, teas and beans (their beans are packed in BPA cans… I love that!). Also, Eden’s products are never adulterated with chemicals, preservatives, irradiation, colorings, refined sugars, or genetically engineered ingredients…. all things that are important to many.

Congratulations to Eden Foods for being named this week’s Friday Favorite on BeFreeForMe.com!

This is the time of year that dinner becomes a real sit down affair. The time of year when dinners are not a grab-&-go-right-off-the-grill event and some actual planning and insight is put into what will be served.

But I know that even with all the planing, mealtimes more than often become rushed, and I get short on time. That is when I reach for a quick and easy dishes that make life so much easier.

One of the newest side dishes I discovered is Earthly Choice Easy Quinoa. This all-natural, organic, gluten-free and tasty side dish can be prepared in about 15 minutes.

Easy Quinoa was developed because folks were searching for and asking Earthly Choice for quick and easy ways to enjoy quinoa, so they listened and developed these great tasting dishes. They all contain vegetables, herbs and spices along with organic quinoa in one convenient package. The flavors are Garden Vegetable, Mediterranean & Vegetable Medley, Sundried Tomato Florentine, Mediterranean, Quinoa & Broccoli, and my favorite, Roasted Garlic & Olive Oil. Worth noting is that Earthly Choice also makes a Quinoa Lentil Soup that is gluten-free too.

A quick, easy and tasty side dish that make my life so much simpler even on a budget ( I buy my Earthly Choice Easy Quinoa at my local grocer for $2.50 per box) are the reasons why this week’s Friday Favorite is awarded to Earthy Choice Easy Quinoa! Congratulations!
