Lentil Quinoa Salad Recipe, courtesy Melissa d'arabian knittingagain OK, here's one of my staples. I make it frequently because it keeps well (actually gets better as it sits in the fridge). For myself, I use lemon rather than lime, the juice of the lemon in place of most (or all) of the vinegar, & chives in place of the green onions. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do! Prep Time: 15 min Inactive Prep Time:-- Cook Time:30 min Level: Easy Serves: 4 servings Ingredients 1/2 cup quinoa 1 1/4 cups water, plus 2 cups 1/2 cup lentils 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar 1/4 cup vegetable oil 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder 1 lime, zested Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper 2 green onions, chopped 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro leaves Directions Put the quinoa in a sieve and rinse in cold water. In a large microwave-proof bowl with a cover, add the rinsed quinoa and 1 1/4 cups water. Cover and microwave on high for 9 minutes. Let it sit for 2 minutes then stir. Quinoa should be tender enough to eat, but with a little "pop" upon biting. Put the lentils in a sieve and rinse in cold water. In a saucepan, simmer the lentils in 2 cups water until the lentils are tender, but not mushy, about 30 minutes. Drain and cool. In a small bowl, whisk the mustard and vinegar together, and drizzle in the oil to make an emulsion. Add the garlic powder, lime zest, and salt, and pepper, to taste. To assemble the salad: In a medium salad bowl, mix the quinoa, lentils, green onions, and chopped cilantro. Top the salad with the dressing, toss to coat and serve.

Earthquake Cake domesticgod This is a recipe I got recently. It's fantastic. My partner cannot eat nuts, so I substituted a can of crushed pineapple well drained (15 oz) for the pecans. 1C unsweetened grated coconut 1C finely chopped pecans or walnuts 1 package (18.25 oz.) German chocolate cake mix (w/ or w/o pudding) 1 1/3C water 1/2C vegetable oil 3 lg. eggs 8 tbsp (1 stick) butter, melted 1 package (8 oz.) cream cheese, room temp 4C confectioners' sugar, sifted Vegetable oil spray for misting pan Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly mist a 13X9" baking pan with vegetable oil spray. Scatter the coconut and pecans in the bottom of the prepared pan. Combine the cake mix, water, oil, and eggs in a large mixing bowl. Blend with an electric mixer on low speed for 1 minute. Stop the machine and scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula. Increase the mixer speed to medium and beat 2-3 minutes more, scraping the sides down again if needed. The batter should look well combined. Pour the batter over the coconut and nuts in the pan, smoothing it out with the rubber spatula. Combine the melted butter, cream cheese, and confectioners' sugar in a large bowl. Blend with an electric mixer on low speed for 1 minute. The mixture should look smooth. With a large spoon, place 12 large globs of the mixture on top of the cake batter, distributing them well. Place the pan in the oven. Bake the cake until the center jiggles a little when you shake the pan, 40-45 minutes. Don't over-bake because it will set up as i cools. Remove the pan from the oven and cool the cake in the pan on a wire rack for 30 minutes. Cut into squares and flip them onto a plate so the pecans and coconut are on top. Can be stored in aluminum foil in the refrigerator for up to a week, or frozen (wrapped in foil) for up to six months.
