How to Raise a Healthy Child in Spite of Your Doctor

Instead of Macaroni and Cheese

Broccoli Quinoa

Do this instead of packaged macaroni and cheese when you are in a hurry. This is super nutrition: quinoa is so unusual and delicious, plus is a supergrain nutritionally. Broccoli is power packed with vitamins and minerals. Look for quinoa in the bulk section of your health food store. It is expensive but worth it in taste, nutrition and quick cooking time. My kids love it.

2 cups quinoa
4 cups water
1 bunch broccoli (3 stalks)
1/2 cup cheese

Put quinoa in a cooking pot and add water to rinse very well. (Quinoa has a natural soapy coating that must be rinsed off). Pour through a strainer, catching the quinoa. Put back in rinsed out pot. Add 4 cups water and bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer for 15 minutes, until quinoa is tender. You can tell when it is done because the little fibrous "c" shaped thread separates from the grain. Wash and chop broccoli. Steam while quinoa is cooking. Stir together cooked broccoli, cooked quinoa and grated cheese.

Hi!

I am Diane Hopkins, mother of 7 children (ages 14 to 34) whom I have had the privilege of homeschooling over the past 23 years. I'm a mom, just like you, and have those fabulous days and those not-so-good days like we all do. My hope in writing is to share experiences, and hopefully we can encourage one another in this wonderful, intense adventure of childraising--that is really what homeschooling is, after all.

Hoping to help, if I can!

Love, Diane
