My Canadian cousin is living with my family for the summer and she is vegan. Its kind of odd, because my family firmly believes in the beauty and art in a good burger and my brother and I are notorious for knocking out a gallon of milk in 32 hours. Then theres Mary.
But even before Mary came to live with us an introduced my family to a vegan style of eating, I was already in love with quinoa.
Quinoa: A goosefoot (Chenopodium quinoa) found in the Andes, where it was widely cultivated for its edible starchy seeds before the introduction of Old World grains.

What you do is boil the seeds and they come up looking like funky boogers (apologies for the graphic image but its kinda true) and you have quinoa. So here is my staple of summer: quinoa salad with carrot, avocado (of course), onion, celery, and walnuts
