Qia White Bread


Bread is essential for my lovely husband without bread in the morning it is like for someone no coffee in the morning. Well, yesterday he forget to buy bread and since he was so tired from work I decided to bake a special Qia White Bread for him.

The proofing is the time consuming factor, but it is worth it.

The recipe is the same one I use for my french bread, pizza, rolls or white bread. Just add Qia....it contains: Hemp, Organic Chia Seeds, Organic Buckwheat groats, Organic hemp seeds, Organic cranberries (Organic cranberries, Organic evaporated cane juice, Organic sunflower oil) Organic almonds, natural vanilla flavor. into your dough and voila there you have your Qia Bread.

What is Qia?

Qia is a Superfood and contains tons of healthy and nutritious items like vitamins, mineral, fiber. 

Qia means energy and it can be used in yogurt or as cereal. It is really a morning booster.It is high in protein and gluten free. Qia is great for people who are vegan.

And, even it is white bread it keeps you full because of the high contains fiber and omega 3s which will give you energy throughout the day...

My husband loves it! The health of my family comes always first for me....

If you have any question, please write...


Half is already gone...

This is how it looks before it went into the oven:

Chicken Burger with Arugula, Kale and Homemade Chunky Salsa


Wow, Sunday and Pajama time for me...no one is in the house just Sally and Me. My husband works and my kids are out of the house.

Let's make this rapid lunch snack: Homemade Chunky Salsa with a great Chicken Burger and Arugula-Kale Salad. As a side dish, I chose Tortilla Chips with Kale and Chia. 

Arugula is a healthy and low on calories salad. It is high on Vitamin C, A and K, on phytochemicals Arugula is also a supporter for the brain and bone.


Kale is great and very tasty. Low on calories and high on nutrition. It contains 2.5 gram on fiber, folate, a B vitamin that's responsible for brain development, vitamin A, C and K, calcium and zinc and much more

Chia seeds are loaded with antioxidants, fiber, protein ... Chia helps to lose weight as well...


 As a side dish I added Tortilla Chips with Kale & Chia. 


Ingredients for Chunky Salsa:

3 -4 Tomatoes

1/2 cup of green bell peppers

1 cup onion diced

1/4 cup cilantro (fresh) minced

2 tbl fresh lemon juice

3 tbl fresh jalapeno, chopped

1/2 tsp ground cumin

1/2 tsp kosher salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

Add all the above ingredients in a blender and chopped coarsely.

That's it. Done!

Here you have your salad dressing for your Arugula,Kale Salad

Salad:

Handful Arugula & Kale, sprinkle with fried bacon, sunflowers and pumpkins seed and on top you add your home-made chunky salsa

Chicken Burger:

Since we have Sunday and we are pretty lazy. We take one of the frozen chicken burger and throw it on the grill. Add bacon...sunflower seeds and pumpkin seed tossed in the pan and add them on our burger.

Voila and finish...Mmmmmmmmmmh....
