Mennonite Girls Can Cook: Southwest Quinoa and Black Bean Salad
http://www.mennonitegirlscancook.ca/2015/08/southwest-quinoa-and-black-bean-salad.html
Monday, August 10, 2015. Southwest Quinoa and Black Bean Salad. This is a delicious salad to accompany any bbq this summer or for taking along on a picnic. One recipe serves about 4-6 average appetites, I usually make a double recipe. Quinoa is a healthy protein option and takes on what ever flavor you are putting in it. I have a moroccan salad posted here. That tastes delicious with quinoa, however cooked Quinoa and rice can interchanged in recipes if you don't have quinoa on hand. 1 cup of frozen corn.

Here is a typical after wedding party that happened at the Bartel farm in the early 60's. And the farm house in the back ground. Where did all the Flowers go?

Tuesday, March 17, 2015. The Next Leg of My Journey. I received this card for my birthday and I wondered who had taken this photo of me. That's exactly what I looked like when I was younger. Anyways that's exactly what I've been trying to do, strengthen my leg muscles. I experienced a freak ski accident which resulted in a multiple knee injury,. On January 3, 2015. I've been under an intensive physio program. The MRI images implied that surgery was necessary. I was told that I was too old for surgery.
