Let The Power of Quinoa Compell You

      I should have known from the get go that this was going to be an epic fail.  I put the quinoa in the blender, well a magic bullet rather.  Me, not knowing that once the bullet is applied it starts blending.  I'm used to blenders and always put the lid on after I put the cup on the blander.  As I placed the bullet, the device turned on and quinoa went every where.  I called and thanked my Mom for letting me know you need the lid on before applying the bullet.  I used this recipe for my first time attempt at quinoa chips.  Since we returned from our vacation in Monterey I have been on a health kick and have already lost 2 lbs (go me), so I thought this was an awesome idea.  I thought that I would have these amazing quinoa chips and could avoid the whole corn, processed carby deal.  Well everyone I'd like to show you how my quinoa chips turned out.

Making flour, so far so good:

What I learned from this experience is to leave it to the professionals, and that the serving size of tortilla chips is just fine.
