The First Dinner

Grass fed beef. Plain, unseasoned in any way save some salt. I made the accompaniments.


Quinoa (pronounced KEEN-WA)

Substituting TJ's gluten-free chicken stock for the water in the recipe on the box, I decided to throw in some fresh thyme and tarragon from outside before the frost made that a non-option. Success.




Salad

I must admit, I'm very proud of this salad. It contains three types of lettuce (romaine, arugula, and the other one's name escapes me), TJ's stuffed olives, dried cherries and raisins soaked in unsweetened cranberry juice and maple syrup, and cashews.

Homemade warm honey-mustard dressing crowned it. Red wine vinegar, honey, French's dijon mustard, and olive oil, heated to melt the honey. I think I'm going to try this for breakfast. Maybe.
