    Oooh! What a great giveaway! I went to the truRoots site, and I like the fact that they are combining science and ancient customs to create their product. I love it when a lot of thought and background goes into a product! Love your new header too!

They both loved it and gobbled it up. I had to rescue some for more husband.The true test is if your kids will eat it!! It was yummy!!!

    This is a great giveaway. I would be ecstatic to win. I'm always wanting to try new things, so this would be a great opportunity to bring some new items into my house to play with. On TruRoots website they said that the Incas believed quinoa gave life-supporting and healing gifts to their people. I think that's a pretty neat thing. To eat your food and have this knowledge about it's history makes it more than just mindless eating.

    I guess this is an entry but I was curious by your post and would have looked at their website anyway.

    Quinoa is a good source of protein and fiber, while having a low glycemic index. That means it's likely a grain Michael and I can eat, which is awesome.

    Thanks for sharing!
