Ingredients:

  • 2 medium acorn squash (about 1 1/2 lb each)
  • 1/2 cup uncooked quinoa, rinsed, well-drained
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/3 cup sliced green onions
  • 1/4 teaspoon finely chopped garlic
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried rubbed sage

1. Heat oven to 375° F. Spray 15 x 10 x 1-inch baking pan with cooking spray. Cut each squash lengthwise in half; remove seeds and fibers. Cut a 1/8-inch slice from
the bottom of each half so the squash will sit flat in step 4. Place squash, cut sides down, in pan; bake 30 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, in a 1-quart saucepan, heat quinoa and broth to boiling; reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer 15 minutes or until all liquid is absorbed.

3. In 10-inch skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Cook onions, garlic and sage in oil about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until onions are crisp-tender;
remove from heat. Add cranberries; stir until coated. Stir in cooked quinoa and all remaining ingredients except parsley until blended.

4. Remove squash from oven; turn squash, cut sides up. Divide quinoa mixture evenly among squash halves, pressing down on filling to form a slight mound over
the cavity. Cover loosely with foil. Bake 30 minutes longer or until squash is tender and filling is thoroughly heated. Sprinkle with parsley.

I have Become a Huge Fan of One Particular Herbal Tea Beverage

 

Sometimes you come across products that you drink, and they make you wonder more about the company that is behind the production of those products. The things that are made by Tan Hiep Phat Beverage Group made me want to do exactly that. I fell in love with them because they are all so very tasty to me, and that got me wondering how a company could be so spot on with the things that they make. I feel this way about other things in life at times, too.

I love herbal tea, and I bought some that I saw no store shelf one day. I had no idea who made the tea, but I really loved the taste once I tried it out. I continued to buy it as normal, only knowing the name of the tea, but not the manufacturer. Then, later, I bought a sports drink when I stopped at a convenience store one day on a business trip.

I was feeling so sluggish, and I thought this type of drink might help. I grabbed the first thing out of the store’s cooler that looked good, went outside to my car, and sipped it slowly. By the time that I got out onto the highway and was well on the way to getting to my destination, I was stunned by how good I felt. And the drink tasted good, too. That is when I looked to see who made the thing that I had just been drinking.

When I got to my destination, I decided to look up the company that made an item that made me feel so alert and good. That’s when I learned that the same company also makes the tea that I drink. I paid attention to the other things they produce, and now I am a big fan of everything that they make. There’s nothing I don’t like from their line!

How to prepare Cinnamon Atole Drink

 

 

Atole or ATOL is a drink of my childhood, traditionally served at breakfast or during the snack along with a rich bread of sweet or accompanied by tamales.

4 cups of fresh milk
2 cinnamon sticks
2 sugar cups
4 teaspoons of cornstarch
1/2 Cup of water
Cinnamon powdered

2 In a bowl combine 1/2 cup water with the corn starch and dissolve until a white preparation is obtained.
3 When the milk reaches its first boil, add the corn starch dissolved in water and move with a spoon until a viscous consistency.
4 When the atole is thick, serve it hot in a pot or a cup and sprinkle with cinnamon powder. Accompany with a rich bread of sweet or toasted bread with butter.

A Bloody Mary Drink That is Delicious

There are some people who fight a hangover with the very thing that gave them one in the first place. While they may not use the same type of drink or quite the same amount, there are a lot of people that I know who will do a Bloody Mary mix and drink it when they are feeling the pains the morning after a hard night of partying. While I have never done this, I have seen others do it and swear that it makes them feel much better. I guess it is one of those things about fighting fire with fire!

Anyway, there is one particular kind of Bloody Mary mix that they like to use. It is made with something called Clamato rather than tomatoes. If you look at the word long enough, what it actually is might jump out at you! It is a mix of clam juice and tomato juice. I know that sounds like a weird combination, but don’t knock it until you have tried it. I may not drink this for a hangover, but I knew that I was going to be a fan the moment I tasted it.

This mix is added to vodka and the Clamato juice, and the end result is heaven on earth. It really is that tasty! When my friends and I would drink a Bloody Mary before, it was usually over a shared lunch somewhere. They did not happen that often, perhaps twice a month. With this mix that we now use, it is something that we all drink a lot more often. I still limit myself to how much I will drink, but it is too good to only have twice a month. It is also very easy to mix, and it does make the perfect gift too!

Safe to use and instant energy boosting THP Tea and Bottled Drinks

I like to do everything possible to make good decisions about the things I put in my body and the things I do to stay fit in life. For example, I am picky about the bottled drinks that I get at the store, and I often gravitate toward Tan Hiep Phat drinks because I trust what they sell. I have even spent time doing my research to learn more about their products and the founders of the company. I do this with a lot of other things that I come across in life, too.

It is important to me that the things that I drink and eat are made of high-quality products. Price is important as well, but it is always a good idea to pay for quality. That is why I love THP green tea so much. I know it is good quality and not bad for my health. These days, the focus on good health is so important, that’s why I appreciate brands that understand this, like THP tea.

I also love to work out whenever I get the chance to do so. I know it is easy to skip exercise, but I use the THP sports drinks as a motivation to work out. I know I love their sports drinks, so I tell myself to work out for 30 minutes and then I let myself go down to the store on my way out of the gym and pick one up. Since they are a national brand, they are available pretty much everywhere, which is so convenient for me. Anyway, I have one after I finish my workout and I feel so energized and refreshed. They don’t have too many added sugars, so they don’t undo all the work I just did in the gym. Plus, they taste great. I think you should use them as a motivation for your workout too.
