Gingery Quinoa Salad With Apples, Peas, and Coconut
"OK so I saw this recipe in a magazine I was flipping through at work one day. It looked so good that I decided to jot it down. Silly me I forgot to write down the name of the magazine. I'm slowly becoming addicted to Quinoa and any new recipe is definately worth a try. I'm glad I tried this one. Very good!"

HEAVEN I'M IN HEAVEN! That is the song that came to mind when I found this great website, I've spent hours here! I love to cook and try new recipes. I live in Jackson, NJ, have been married for 30 years and I have a beautiful 17 yr old daughter. Daina brightens everyday of my life, we are true friends. LOVE MY ANIMALS!! I learned to cook early in life, being the oldest girl of 7 children. I love cooking, and am accustomed to making alot of food. That's not so easy when you are cooking for only 3 people, so I try to make meals that I can freeze, or induldge in left overs..
