Amanda, the salmon quiche looks scrumptious! Please let us know the name of the website where the written directions appear. The name of the site appears in little short bleeps throughout the film, but I couldn’t get it written down. Thanks alot.

This weeks recipe is one of our favorites, and is one of my bean recipes. LOL

I’ve served this as a soup, a stew and brought it to a pot luck as a side dish. This is the one my family asks for if I haven’t made it for awhile.

Homemade Kamut Pasta (Soaked)
http://gnowfglins.com/2009/09/23/homemade-kamut-pasta-soaked/

I think Kamut is a great grain to use for pasta because of its hearty, nutty flavor. We all enjoyed these noodles very much. The first night, we topped them with homemade chicken soup. Then the next day, I reheated the leftover noodles in a bit of water on the stovetop, to steam them back to warmth. We topped those with beef stew.

Emily @ Life in Cincinnati Homemade “Instant” Oatmeal Packets (http://lifeincincinnati.com/?p=2019)

Here is a frugal and healthier option to replace the Quaker instant oatmeal packets in your pantry. While the oats aren’t soaked (and therefore still contain the phytates), they are still a better alternative to sugary, extruded cereals. They cook up quickly and are easy to make at work, home or wherever you need to be.
