First day back from my Hong Kong trip & already craving fresh steamed yellowtail with lots of ginger & scallions on top of black quinoa. Just before serving, drizzle some tamari, you don't need anything else, so flavorful. Had this with a simple stir fried broccoli. I couldn't believe the fishmonger didn't scale the fish. In Asia, it's a given! Not fun, scales flew everywhere, so warning you to get it scaled.

Hot soup is supposed to 'cool' you like drinking hot tea in Summer. Well, it was definitely a summer's day! I love turkey soup with celery, carrots, tomatoes. Instead of potatoes, I added black quinoa to give some texture. First time I've seen black quinoa. I can't waste, so threw in last bit of bean soup, worked out really well. Soup always means toast.

Last minute menu change cause I had to cook all the pork shoulder and use up a lot of vegetables in the fridge. When you grill pork, you have to eat it fresh! I used my favorite MySpiceSage.com Hot Curry Powder, it always turns out succulent and hits the spot. Made some red quinoa, stir fried zucchini, carrots, snow peas. I had stir fried 2 wokfuls of mushrooms, boy do they shrink or what! My hubby kept saying "umm, delicious!" so guess he enjoyed.

Adding chick peas gave my crab chowder more protein. Little salad with pickled jicama, cucumber & carrot with side of quinoa made a nice trio for today's lunch. It's all about Balance.
