Exciting Wednesdays

Wednesday we go get our CSA veggies from the farmer.  Yesterday Wednesday we also got six pounds of amaranth from the UPS delivery man.  Fun stuff!


I have just one recipe for amaranth, but since I have six pounds now, I'll find some more.  Amaranth is one of those "super" grains, actually a tiny seed, full of protein, fiber, and iron.  I thought if I bought some, then I'd find a use for it.

Amaranth is cooked just like rice and other grains.  It can be made into breakfast cereal like oatmeal.  Additionally, it can be popped like popcorn.  How fun is that?!
