Hey everyone! For the past year and a half I’ve been working on the first volume of my medieval fantasy book series (Flesh and Soul) a lot of which has been written during my travels. Most of the landscapes I’ve encountered while journeying have been an inspiration to the locations in this book. The proof-read copy has finally made it my way to me, and everything is looking great. If you are interested in buying the book, or checking it out, you can find it for sale here All of the money will go towards my traveling. Any purchases are greatly appreciated! If you don’t want to buy the book, but would like to support me, a reblog will do nicely! Thanks everyone!

Organic Quinoa seeds:

1 serving of Dry Quinoa seeds (1/4 cup or 42 Grams) contains 6 grams of complete protein

One serving contains 3 grams of Dietary Fiber

One serving contains 20% Iron

Manganese 43%

Tryptophan 21.8%

Magnesium 20.9%

Quinoa seeds are great on oatmeal and salads, along with a lot of other things. From my experience the added seeds are generally tasteless and are a great nutritional boost. Quinoa seeds can be ground into a flour and used for baking. Quinoa flour used for baking cookies is delicious, adding a peanutbutter-like flavor. Pasta can be made from Quinoa, and is also very delicious. Overall Quinoa has many uses and is also very nutritional.

I enjoy cinnamon in a hot cup of tea or a freshly brewed cup of coffee. Half a tablespoon of cinnamon mixed with half a tablespoon of honey in the morning is also a good way to get cinnamon into your diet. Plus, cinnamon and honey together offer double the health benefits of cinnamon alone!

I prefer to use Organic dried Thyme on my eggs, in my sauces, soups and salads. When cooking with thyme, you should add this spice when your meal is close to done! Heat will destroy the flavor and some of the nutrients in Thyme. "Oh dear, it appears that we're running out of thyme."
