I guess that's why I shouldn't try to spit out posts really quickly when I'm tired while nursing the baby. Bad sentence structure is inevitable! Jen, lol, I can see why!

I have to say that I had to read Friday's plan 3 times before I could get my head around what you were saying! As always, wonderful food at your house!

I think that you are using raw milk, and I am using milk that has already been pasteurized (milk in Canada is just too pricey, so I use discounted organic milk to make my kefir and yogurt, and save the really pricey raw stuff for straight drinking). I'll have to find your post, though, as I'm curious to read about what you've found out! Laura, if you want to do a week of smoothies, you can blame it on me! :) Alison, try it! It's sooo good! It's slightly runny, but it just means that the rice really soaks up all the flavor. Sherry, quinoa is great! It's fast cooking (only about 20 minutes, compared to more like 40-50 minutes for brown rice), it's very soft in texture, and it has a mild, slightly nutty, very pleasant flavor. My husband actually prefers quinoa to rice, so I switch back and forth between the two (rice is cheaper). I use it just as I would rice in many of my meals, and it always works!

Sometimes I find it hard to eat healthfully and be frugal at the same time! I need to work harder at it! How would you describe quinoa? I've been wanting to try it, but I wasn't sure if I would like it. Have a wonderful week!

It sounds great, and I've got a some fish in the freezer that needs to be eaten. Thanks! Ooooh, I think I'm going to have to try your recipe for Fish Coconut Curry.

Great minds think a like! ;) Thought you might be interested to know that I discovered that heating your yogurt about 110 degrees will kill alot of the nutrients. I just starting heating it to just 110 before incubating. Works great still, as long as you use some sort of solidifying agent (milk powder, gelatin, or I am thinking about trying pomona's pectin as a better option, we'll see if it works). Not sure if you saw my post about it. Blessings upon your sweet family! Lindsay Funny, I am making taco salad, a curry dish, and burritos this week as well!
