Salmon & Green Beans

So the other day I was low on food so I did a random hunt to figure out what we did have. I found a can of salmon and a can of green beans and so I cooked them up in butter and then added celery salt, paprika, thyme, 2 cups of milk and let it simmer (stirring often) to make a thick sauce. Then I added in macaroni. Mmmmm. Turned out pretty yummy. Didn't reheat so well though. :(

Also in my hunt I came across Quinoa. I decided to make that for dinner last night. Yea......I didn't get it quite right. I dunno. The taste was just not great for us. Next time I think I'll slather it in butter and see how that helps. Anyone else ever cook quinoa?

What did you use on it?

Namaste Pasta



Made the Pasta Pisavera yesterday for lunch.

Really good! The boys ate the whole bag in 1 sitting!!!! (and the 2 year old has been known to survive off of 1 hot dog bug for the whole day so that says something!) I tried it and really enjoyed the taste of the spices. My mom wasn't too sure about trying a spice pack (she likes her food very plain) so she just had butter on hers and still loved it.

My favorite part..Quick and easy!!!!!!
Gabe's favorite part..The noodles were different colors!
Link's favorite part..YUMMY!

So here are some things that I have learned about Namaste today! They don't use ANY GMO foods!!!! WOW! That to me is so cool. Their Xantham gum is NOT corn derived! (xantham gum often is, but very few people are that sensitive to corn, but they take care of ALL corn in the mix!) They really listen to their fans! In a questions page I got they often have turned to their fans to help other fans. And the pasta was good, not just allergy free good, but good.

Here is a price comparison I got from the company




Their costs aren't too bad and what I have found to lower their prices is to buy in bulk off amazon :) If you buy 6 bags of an item at a time they are cheaper AND you normally get free shipping :) Hands down the cheapest way to buy.

All in all I really love this company and am so glad that they are my first giveaway!!! You guys will enjoy the giveaway bag!!!!!
