Sampson
Dante, making himself comfortable!Some other goings-on in blogworld: check out Lauren's post here to help support the Maryland Food Bank and don't go to Hangry Pant's giveaway for Zoe's Granola ;-) You can also check out this list of 10 healthy foods you may not be eating. I can't actually remember if I've tried broccoli rabe (strange...), but I did pick up some at the store a few days ago. I also don't eat many brazil nuts (although this may be leftover from childhood, when all i liked were peanuts!).
Speaking of broccoli... I made this Gruyere Quinoa w/Sauteed Mushrooms & Broccolini which was very yummy. The nuttiness of the gruyere and quinoa played together well with the pan-roasted veggies. I meant to throw in some extra protein (chicken, tuna, or tofu), but I got lazy. I actually just had to look up the difference between broccolini (a hybrid between broccoli and Chinese broccoli) and broccoli rabe (more related to a turnip than broccoli)! Learn something new every day :) We'll have to see what I do with that broccoli rabe... any suggestions??
sorry so fuzzy!!

I am with Anna's suggestion. It's my favorite way to enjoy rabe.
Cute doggies - I love quinoa~

your broccolini look delicious! i've seen those in the store and always wanted to try them...
and gruyere = great choice! one of my favorite cheeses for sure!
Cute dogs. The meal looks healthy and delicious.
Dog sitting is so much fun! Always makes me want a puppy after I do it. Gruyere and quinoa sounds like a faboo combination! I will have to try that some time.
Sampson is sooooo cute!!!
I've never tried broccoli rabe... looking forward to see it here! :)
Such a cute, big nose!

ADORABLE dogs! Your dinner sounds yummy - I love quinoa & gruyere, so they must be a great pair!
Quinoa and gruyere sound excellent together! I recently saw a good recipe for broccoli rabe, I think it was sauteed and tossed with almonds.
Broccoli rabe is a FAVORITE of mine (as is quinoa, by the way, even though my roommate looks at me weird whenever I cook it...gotta love the whole grains). I made it recently with pasta and turkey sausage, which is a pretty traditional Italian recipe. It's also great sauteed with garlic, olive oil, and red pepper flakes. It's really good on pizza as well. As you can tell, I really love the stuff :).
CUTE doggies!!
Quinoa rocks my world! :)
thanks so much for the shout out! and I still havent tried quinoa...your dish looks awesome...i have to try it!
I haven't been able to find broccoli rabe at the store. I think it's also known as "rapini." Do you know? Anyway, I love gruyere.
Sampson and Dante - too cute, and I love the names!
Thanks for this recipe. I just stocked up on quinoa. Perfect!
teehee I don't even know what's cuter, your cute doggie (i thought Samson was a stuffed animal) or that brocolini! Which i think is super-cute. hahah :) OK the doggy wins!
Those dogs are beyond cute! Sampson looks like a stuffed animal. Your dinner looks delicious too, mmm Gruyere!!
Jess- rapini is another name for broccoli rabe, you know, just to confuse people :)
Is Dante a dog or a pillow? I can't tell from that picture ;-) He reminds me a little bit of the dog my family had when I was about as tall as Dante...I miss that dog like you wouldn't believe!
Gruyere and quinoa together sounds really yummy! And with the pan-roasted veggies, even better.
I've cooked with broccoli rabe many times. I guess my favorite is
Shells with Broccoli Rabe...

If you search for broccoli rabe in my blog you will find a few more as well.
P.s. the pups are so adorable!
That looks delicious! I'm thinking about starting a blogger cookbook, check out my last post for more info! But, I would love to see recipes like this in it!
Love the dinner but I REALLY love doggies!! TOO Cute!
Yummy dinner! And quite the pup! :)
I was totally just wondering about you the other day, hoping things were OK.
Thanks for all the links and dinner looks great! glad you're back!
Gruyere quinoa sounds delicious!
I've actually never cooked broccoli rabe- it'll be fun to see what you end up with...
your pup is so cute!

Awwww - what cuties!! The quinoa looks fantastic! I need to try this recipe -- mmmm. BTW, broccoli rabe is delish (can be a tad bitter). Anna is right on with sauteeing it in olive oil & garlic. So tasty & healthy :)
Delicious! I have such an infatuation with quinoa... and your puppies are SO cute.
Yummy quinoa and cute pups!
It was great seeing you tonight again at the blog event. Your meal looks fantastic. I am just starting to get into quinoa.
