Boy am I tired! I think I am still on Edenwald time 🙂 Early to bed, early to rise! I’ll be glad to get in bed early tonight though, because I’ve got an early start at the gym for my marathon day tomorrow.
This afternoon the husband and I took a walk to enjoy the weather. But it was WAY colder than I thought due to a friendly wind. Brrrr! We came home and got under some blankets on the couch to watch Arrested Development before dinner. We only have 3 episodes left until we finish the series 😥
Then we mustered the energy to cook and ended up with a really great dish.
Mustard Greens + Beans Quinoa in a Lemon-Tahini Sauce

By the way, you may have noticed that I finished all of my blog updates. The FAQ page has been updated, the Kath page consolidated, the Tribute to Oatmeal page moved to the front line, a Favorites page now houses the stores and blogroll (which you can also link to from the sidebar), and finally, the Real Food page is organized by category (including – finally – the video links). Hope it’s all more helpful!
I have another portion of this to have for dinner tomorrow night. Sorry to repeat, but it’ll be a great late-night quick dinner post-class.
On the side I had a small piece of toast with butta –
The baker brought home a Praline scuffin, and I had just enough of a bite to taste it.
Bedtime! (Or at least time to wind down…I’m not quite ready to sleep!)
Maggie says
Those scuffins always sound so good! Good luck with your marathon day 🙂
Sarah W. says
have a good day tomorrow! that yummy dinner & more importantly scuffin should be good fuel 🙂
meghann says
Glad you’re done with all the updates! And that dinner looks amazing!
ashley (sweet & natural) says
Yummy dinner. Thanks for letting us know about those updates. 🙂
Suzanne says
Thanks for the updates on your blog updates!
My husband and I just finished the last episode of Arrested Development this past weekend. We’re so bummed! It was such a brilliant, hilarious show – don’t know why it was cancelled.
Well, we’ll just have to wait for the movie. They’re definitely doing it – so it’s something to look forward to.
Who was your fave character?
Hard to choose…Buster and Gob had me in tears sometimes. And each character’s chicken dance…omg, hilarious! 🙂
caroline says
Yum, my all time fave combo!
Bridget says
love the updates!
Shelby says
Wow, that meal looks so delicious!
Ellen says
i’m having garbanzos and quinoa for dinner as well! i think they’re a perfect combo 🙂
Danielle says
Are you sad you’re almost done with Arrested Development? Everytime my boyfriend and I get into a show and watch all the dvds I get sad when it’s all over, not that I don’t watch the ones I love over and over.
Love the dinner today!
Good Luck with your super long day tomorrow.

This looks awesome! I recently discovered a love for mustard greens and I’ve been looking for recipes that use them.
The Healthy Hostess says
Yum! I have never used mustard greens but I need to try them! I think this would be the perfect recipe to push me to them!!
🙂 I will be thinking about you when I get up for my early morning workout too!
Mel says
Looks really good. I’ve only tried quinoa once, so I may have to try this to try it again.
allijag says
your dinner looks great! 🙂
isn’t it so sad when you get to the end of Arrested Development?? You want to watch at least 4 more seasons – and they just don’t exist! Keep your fingers crossed the movie actually happens!

Loving the beans, greens, and grains combo! I had it myself today, as well!
theoddbod says
love that show. pitty there isn’t anymore to watch. whenever I get into a show there only ends up being one or two seasons!
good looking meal too, looks like you’re getting your daily folate and fibre intake 😉
Sharon says
Wow, love it! Everything looks great!
melissa (fitnessnyc) says

Quinoa is so great! Can’t wait to check out the updated pages!
Heather McD (Heather Eats Almond Butter) says
Love anything with lemon-tahini! Dinner looks great as always. I thought the husband wasn’t allowed to bring home scuffins anymore…or was that blondies?:)
Hope you get plenty of rest tonight. Good luck with your marathon of a day tomorrow! 🙂
Hil says
I am so sad that there isn’t more Arrested Development! It’s such a fun show.
Your dinner looks and sounds so good. Lemon-tahnini sauce is one of my favorite things, but I’ve never tried putting it over grains. Thanks for a great idea!
Alisa says
Ooh, lemon-tahini, that sounds good. Okay, please excuse my ignorance, but what is a scuffin??
Sarah (lovINmytummy) says
I wish our GH had scuffins, but sadly it is either scones or muffins. I wish they would mate already!
I’ve heard rumors of an Arrested Development movie. Fingers crossed!
Joanne says
Sometimes leftover repeat dinners can be great. I love a good leftover meal when it was something that I really liked the night before, and as a college student cooking for herself that’s a good thing since I tend to have leftoers a LOT.
I just bought tahini pasta a few weeks ago and have been looking for new and varied ways to use it so I think I’ll have to try this one.
Good luck with your endless day today!
Sarah (Tales of Expansion) says
mmm, yummy dinner — i’m excited about that recipe!
Kath says
Suzanne ,
DEFINITELY Buster!!!!
Heather McD,
Haha – good memory. He’s allowed to bring them home if it’s a new flavor, as the Praline ones were 😉

great looking dinner. I love quinoa – AND Arrested Development.
Erin says
The updates make a big difference. Nice job!
Jasmine T says
Kath, I made this tonight for dinner, except I used wheatberries instead of the quinoa. It was excellent. Quick question though, how did you toast the seeds? I put them in the microwave for about two minutes, but they just got warm, not exactly toasted. Do you broil them in the oven? Thanks! Love the blog.
Kath says
Jasmine T,
Glad you liked it! I usually toast seeds in the microwave – just keep doing intervals of 30 seconds until they have an aroma, but I do think that toasting in the oven on a cookie sheet or in a dry skillet probably produces a better toast. Just keep your eye on them at all times.
