Ever since I found out I had a gluten intolerance, quinoa has been a savoir for my diet. It's full of protein and tastes pretty great if you season it correctly. My mother used to get Eating Well since I was about eight, which is where the recipe for these almond butter- quinoa blondies are from; these are completely lactose-free as well. I used Earth Balance and dairy-free chocolate chips, although I did use eggs so they're not vegan. Their recipes can be hit or miss, but this hits the spot. I have a hard time finding desserts that taste decent. I didn't grind the quinoa up enough for the flour, which is part of the problem--mine are pretty grainy and you crunch on it sometimes. But other than that, they taste fine. I've been eating almond butter sandwiches with the leftover jar I bought at Trader Joe's. My heart's still with peanut butter, but I'll manage. Other than that, I've been catching up on Mad Men (what's going on in this season) and watched the new Arrested Development and Top of the Lake on Netflix. Time to start the real work, grow up. Have to make money so I can pay for those hundred dollar 30 day CTA passes this summer. For Memorial Day I'm headed down to LaGrange to hang out with a few friends, just hope it doesn't rain on us. I'm going to order a huge salad for dinner, all I ate yesterday were chips and popcorn. Oy.

I don't own a food processor (yet) so I used a coffee grinder instead.
